Fire Studio 7
Fire Simulator Software Features

Ultra Realistic Fire Simulator

In emergency response, a firefighter’s critical decisions are often based solely on what they see. With Fire Studio’s highly realistic simulations, you are able to to refine their decision-making skills, promoting more effective responses during real-world emergencies.

Use Your Own Images

One of Fire Studio’s unique capabilities lies in its ability to transform local structures into a simulation environment. Users can take pictures (and video) of structures in their locality, import these images into the software, and create incredibly realistic simulations.

Easy To Use Fire Simulation

Fire Studio is designed by firefighters, for firefighters. The program is mouse-driven, with much of the simulation building accomplished with drag-and-drop simplicity. There is no programming to learn.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Instructor and Player edition?

The Instructor Edition can do everything: create and play. The Player Edition only plays scenarios.

Typically, the Player Edition complements the Instructor by providing additional, lower-cost licenses to use on separate computers allowing multiple views or positions of the incident.  This multi-license setup is typical of a fire simulator CTC, but many departments also provide Player Editions to several of their stations to allow them to train with the Simulations on their own.

Fire Studio is licensed on a per computer basis. Each computer running Fire Studio will need a license. You can purchase any number of licenses. As your needs change, you may add additional licenses. The first time you run Fire Studio, you will need to activate the software online. This will only need to be done once. Licenses are managed through your Customer Portal. 

 This is not “subscription-based” licensing. If you ever lose your training budget, we don’t want you to lose your simulation capabilities when the subscription ends! You own the license to use the software forever, so there are no problems maintaining your training program or readiness goals. We have heard many stories from training officers losing their simulation program because of budget problems when the software subscription expired. That will NOT happen with Fire Studio.

Fire Studio 7 demands robust hardware for optimal performance, especially in graphics processing. Investing in the most powerful setup within your budget is advisable. Key considerations revolve around the graphics card, system RAM, and the processor.

Graphics Card: Aim for a graphics card equipped with 4-8 GB of RAM for seamless Fire Studio operation. Leading brands like Nvidia and AMD offer suitable options. These cards handle Fire Studio well, ensuring smooth performance without straining the system.

System RAM: Allocate between 4-8+ GB of RAM to complement the graphics card. Ample system memory contributes significantly to Fire Studio’s efficiency.

Processor: A powerful processor is essential for pushing Fire Studio to its limits, enabling smoother rendering of complex smoke and fire elements on the screen without compromising performance.

DirectX Compatibility: Fire Studio 6.5 and 7 utilize DirectX 12, necessitating a graphics card compatible with this version for optimal functioning.

*Notice on Integrated Graphics Chips

Integrated Graphics Chips: While some systems incorporate integrated graphics chips like Intel HD or UHD series, they do not offer the desired performance when challenged with heavier simulations. Instances of slowdowns or crashes may occur, particularly as you augment simulations with more fire and smoke layers.

Newer Chips (Xe and Xe Ultra): Recent advancements in chips, such as the Xe and Xe Ultra, have exhibited promising results with Fire Studio 6.5 and 7. However, their reliability varies among users and systems, hence not universally recommended.

Choosing hardware components that align with Fire Studio’s requirements ensures a smoother experience, allowing you to explore its capabilities without encountering performance bottlenecks or system crashes.
