  • A complete self-paced command scenario
  • Push-to-talk radio with AI parsing (30s max per radio transmission)
  • A command board that keeps changing as the call develops
  • Replay review when the run is over

Who it is for

From solo reps to department-wide training

Preparing to promote? Running academy drills? Teaching command to clients? 3AlarmLabs fits the way firefighters actually make time to train.

Firefighters

Get command reps when you can grab them: at the station, at home, or before the next promotional process sneaks up.

  • Self-paced scenarios whenever you have time
  • Radio practice, size-up, and board discipline
  • Replay review after each run

Fire departments

Give members a place to practice command before the drill tower, the assessment center, or the real thing.

  • Access for teams, companies, and academies
  • Instructor-led command sessions
  • Shared workspace and scenario library

Training companies

Bring clients into command simulations without hauling out a pile of props, whiteboards, and "pretend this is smoke" explanations.

  • Commercial training use
  • Classroom and instructor modes
  • Custom agreements and invoicing

Built with the fire service

Built with people who actually run incidents

3AlarmLabs is shaped with training companies, fire departments, and individual firefighters, so the simulator follows real command habits instead of generic click-through training.

Training companies

Scenario design and instructor workflows informed by providers who teach command for a living.

Fire departments

Department pilots and academy feedback help shape session modes, team access, and the small details that matter.

Individual firefighters

Self-paced reps and replay review refined with officers and officer candidates preparing to lead.

Field notes

What firefighters and instructors notice first

“I finally have a way to get command reps without waiting around for drill night. The radio traffic and board tracking feel close enough to the real job that it exposes your habits fast.”

“We use it between live sessions, almost like homework that people will actually do. Students come in sharper on assignments, radio discipline, and just keeping the incident organized.”

FAQ

Questions firefighters usually ask first

Can I try 3AlarmLabs before paying?

Yes. You can run a free self-paced command scenario without creating an account. Push-to-talk radio is included (30s max per radio transmission). Create an account to save your replay and unlock unlimited radio.

Can firefighters practice command scenarios alone?

Yes. 3AlarmLabs is built for solo command practice, so firefighters can get reps on shift, at home, or while getting ready for promotion.

Does 3AlarmLabs support department training?

Yes. Individual members can train on their own, while department plans add instructor-led sessions, shared scenarios, and team access.

How does replay review work?

After each run, you can review the scenario, radio traffic, transcript, and decisions. It makes the awkward stuff easier to spot, which is the point.
