The Government has a request for a fire extinguisher training system with the following salient characteristics:

1. Fire extinguisher training system that will allow firefighters to train and use this equipment in areas where live-fire training is not possible or desired.

2. Hands-on fire extinguisher training that uses realistic, self-generating digital flames that can interact with a hose line and responses directly to the trainee's actions.

3. Fire extinguisher system includes a waterproof panel with built-in thermal sensors, integrated smoke generation, and built-in sound to create a realistic training.

4. Laser training extinguisher waterproof remote that communicates via WiFi that is suited for intense training evolutions and can be operated with a gloved hand.

5. Electronic-based fire extinguisher trainer that incorporates fire/smoke into a single trainer and permits the use of water or digital/laser on the simulated fire.


The Government has a second requirement for a similar type of fire extinguisher training system with the following salient characteristics:

1. Fire extinguisher training system that will allow non-firefighting personnel to practice and use.

2. Hands-on fire extinguisher training that uses realistic, self-generating digital flames that can interact with a hose line and responses directly to the trainee's actions.

3. Fire extinguisher system includes a waterproof panel with built-in thermal sensors, integrated smoke generation, and built-in sound to create a realistic training.

4. Fire extinguisher sensors that will determine where a user is aiming, and how far the trainee is from the fire.

5. Control system that will determine how to vary the flame.
