I'm looking for some alternatives to practical fire extinguisher training and wondered what virtual training is like?  Can anyone share any recommendations for virtual reality training providers or kits that you can buy?

Thanks

Chubb, springs to mind.  Try your local Fire Brigade too, maybe a company visit?

We stopped providing practical fire training a number of years ago for a variety of reasons including environmental factors, practicality (not everywhere had appropriate outside space) and false confidence it can give. There is no legal requirement to complete practical training so I have ensured that detailed information is provided to the delegates around how to use an extinguisher with the mantra of dont fight a fire.
