- Modelled from Unit of Competency: MSMWH212
Train your team to act fast, stay calm, and choose the right extinguisher before the fire gets out of control.
This immersive experience ensures users build not just knowledge but muscle memory, enabling fast, accurate, and safe fire response in real-world environments. Ideal for compliance training and building frontline safety capability across a wide range of industries.
Fire extinguishers are critical in any workplace, but only effective when employees know how and when to use them.
Participants enter high-pressure, simulated environments where they must:
- Identify different classes of fire and assess the appropriate response.
- Select and use the correct extinguisher type for each scenario.
- Operate extinguishers safely and effectively under stress, as environments dynamically react (e.g. smoke fills the room).
- Reinforce fire safety awareness and emergency decision-making skills.
This hands-on training builds competence for both daily readiness and formal assessment, replacing passive learning with proactive fire control experience.

Identify Fire Classes and Extinguisher Types:
- Understand the six classes of fire (A–F).
- Match fire types with correct extinguishing agents:
- Water (Class A)
- Foam (Class A, B)
- CO₂ (Class B, E)
- Dry Powder (ABE) (Class A, B, C, E)
- Wet Chemical (Class F, A)
Understand Extinguisher Colour Codes and Labels:
- Recognise extinguisher types by their colour bands:
- Red = Water
- Blue = Foam
- Black = CO₂
- White = Dry Powder
- Oatmeal = Wet Chemical
Apply PASS Procedure:
- Learn the four steps of fire extinguisher operation
- Pull the pin
- Aim at the base of the fire
- Squeeze the handle
- Sweep the nozzle side-to-side
Demonstrate Safe Fire Response:
- Assess whether to fight or evacuate based on size/severity.
- Alert others (e.g. shout “Fire!” or use alarm).
- Understand when not to use a fire extinguisher (e.g. large, uncontrollable fires).
Practice Fire Extinguishing in Simulated Scenarios:
- Apply knowledge in multiple scenarios (electrical, oil, paper, gas fires).
- Choose the correct extinguisher based on situation and fire class.
- Use the extinguisher safely before the room fills with smoke
A. Discovery Phase
- Learners answer fundamental questions to establish baseline knowledge
- Fire response protocol
- Fire classes
- PASS procedure
B. Instructional Modules
- Module 1: Extinguishing Agents
- Hands-on learning with different extinguishers.
- Match agents to fire types through active testing.
- Interactive band-colour matching exercise.
- Module 2: Fire Approach
- Best-practice behaviour when facing a fire.
- Evacuation vs. suppression decisions.
- Full training on the PASS method.
C. Final Scenario-Based Assessment
- Learner is dropped into varied fire scenarios
- Each scenario presents a unique challenge (e.g. Class B liquid fire or Class F oil fire).
- Assessed on
- Extinguisher selection
- Time to respond
- Fire suppression success
D. Results & Feedback
- Learners receive feedback on their performance
- Correct/incorrect actions, time, extinguisher use.
- Option to revisit modules or exit the training.

CONTACT USWhat is Custom VR Builds?
It’s a service where Next World creates a fully tailored VR-training solution for your company — a custom course built to meet your industry-specific requirements rather than using a generic off-the-shelf VR module.
How does the custom-build process work?
The process typically follows these phases: you provide training documentation, subject-matter experts get involved, learning outcomes are identified, storyboard is created, virtual assets are modeled, testing and quality assurance, and finally deployment in your environment.
What type of training scenarios can be built?
You can build VR scenarios for hazard awareness, safe-practice with tools and equipment, practicing safety procedures step-by-step, and even testing learner’s knowledge in simulated hazardous situations — as if in real life but safe.
Is custom VR suitable for refresher training as well?
Yes — custom VR builds can be used for refresher/training-update courses to efficiently refresh skills and knowledge without re-arranging real equipment or putting people at risk.
What learning methodology does custom VR follow?
Next World suggests a blended approach: combining face-to-face, practical and immersive training methods, which helps improve retention, practical competence, and reduces incidents.
