Push-to-Talk Radio Commands
Practice command radio traffic with push-to-talk style reps that capture communication for review after the scenario.
Practice command over the radio
Command training is not only about choosing the right tactic. Officers also need to communicate clearly enough for crews to understand assignments, priorities, and updates.
3AlarmLabs uses radio-based command reps so firefighters can practice how they sound while running a scenario.

Why capture radio traffic
Radio communication is easier to coach when it can be replayed. With transcripts and replay review, firefighters and instructors can talk through what was clear, what was late, and what should improve on the next run.
