Fire Extinguisher Training Simulator FAQs
Pyrosoft Fire Simulator Questions and Answers
Training and OSHA note: OSHA does not certify Pyrosoft products or classify them as equivalent to live-fire training. OSHA states that actual live fire is not necessary for hands-on practice; employers remain responsible for their complete safety program and applicable requirements. See OSHA's interpretation and 29 CFR 1910.157. This is not legal advice.

Can a simulator be taken on an aircraft?
Absolutely. The extinguishers are equipped with a main grid power switch on the bottom, to allow them to be taken on planes as personal baggage. Some systems are designed for ease of transportation, and the Flicker even qualifies as a carry on.
Do the simulators work on 240 volts?
All of our systems can operate on either 120V/60Hz or 240V/50Hz.
Where can I find the operating manual?
A hardcopy of the manual is included with every system, but it is also installed with the software. The manuals can be accessed by pressing the space bar while Crossfire is running and selecting help or by pressing the escape key to exit Crossfire and then clicking the Pyrosoft toolbox on the desktop.
Where Can I Find Other Operating Tips?
Read "Pyrosoft Operating Suggestions" accessible from the Help button in Crossfire, or the Pyrosoft Toolbox on the desktop.
Does the system meet the OSHA fire extinguisher training requirements?
Pyrosoft provides hands-on fire-extinguisher practice without requiring live fire. OSHA states that actual live fire is not required for hands-on practice; employers remain responsible for meeting all applicable training requirements.

Failing all else, you can enable the Virtual Firefighter to automatically extinguish the flames gradually so the class can be completed, providing you the time needed later to find the source of the problem.
