Flame-Sim is a ''fire department training simulation software'' package that is targeted toward fire departments to assist their training efforts for fireground operations. This training is generally focused on the reinforcement of both the department specific and National Fire Protection Association (and National Incident Management System) standard operating procedures and guidelines for improving tactical decisions during a real structure fire.
