Virtual fire pump operator training

Train pump ops anywhere, no apparatus required.

A browser-based pump panel that models real hydraulics. Get reps at the firehouse, at home, or on the road, then review every decision after.

Free to start. No credit card required. Runs in any modern browser.

Pump panel
Fire Pump Simulator pump panel: master intake and discharge gauges, throttle and RPM controls, nine individual discharge valves with gauges, tank and primer controls, and intake hookups for hydrant, static source, and relay supply.
The panel

See the pump panel you will actually train on

Discharge and intake gauges, throttle and governor, individual line valves, tank and primer controls, and water source hookups. Every gauge answers to real hydraulic physics, so what you practice here behaves the way the real pump does on the fireground.

Runs in any modern browser. No install, no kit, no engine to warm up. Every action is timed and logged for review.

Built for the panel

Purpose-built for fire pump operators

Every feature exists because pump operators need it, not because a generic training platform shipped it.

Real hydraulics

Physics-based pump curves, pressure dynamics, and flow mechanics. The panel responds the way a real pump does, not a scripted approximation.

Configurable water sources

Hydrants with real static and residual numbers, static sources for drafting, and relay or nurse feeds. Use presets or build your own scenario.

Live fire loads

Nine fire types that grow with too little flow, darken down with enough, and rekindle if you quit early. Fireground benchmarks are tracked.

Foam operations

In-line eductors with metering, pickup, and flush procedures, plus onboard proportioning. Practice the whole foam evolution, not just the stream.

Session recording and replay

Every valve turn, throttle change, and pressure swing is timestamped. Review the run in sequence and see exactly where it went right or wrong.

Live sessions

Share a join code so an instructor or crew can watch in real time, chat in the moment, and inject faults like a burst line mid-evolution.

How it works

From setup to scored results in minutes

  1. 01

    Configure the scenario

    Pick a water source, set the hose configuration, load a fire, and choose a preset or define your own.

  2. 02

    Operate the pump

    Engage, set pressure, open lines, manage the tank. Real pressure feedback, real hydraulic behavior, no shortcuts.

  3. 03

    Review the session

    Every event is timestamped and saved. See where pressure changed, what you did, and how long each action took.

Test yourself

Run the evolutions from memory, no prompts

Once the theory sticks, run real NFPA 1002 pump evolutions on a cold rig with nothing but the panel. Every attempt is scored and saved to your training record, so repeat a JPR until the procedure is automatic.

  • Produce a handline at correct pump discharge pressure
  • Supply two handlines
  • Produce a master stream from the deck gun
  • Establish a hydrant supply
  • Draft from a static source
  • Relay pumping
  • Foam fire stream

The handline evolution is free. Premium unlocks all seven.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?
Yes. A free account includes the full pump panel, the structure fire, the handline JPR, 75 starter quiz questions and flashcards, session recording and replay, and the fireground calculators. Premium unlocks the full question bank, custom apparatus, every fire type, all seven JPRs, and live session hosting for $3.99 a month.
What do I need to run it?
Any modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox) on a laptop, desktop, or tablet. There is nothing to install and no app to download. A larger screen is the best experience for operating the pump panel.
How realistic is the hydraulic model?
The simulator is built on physics-based pump curves, pressure dynamics, and flow mechanics rather than scripted animations. Intake and discharge pressure, net pump pressure, friction loss, and flow all respond to your source, your lines, and your throttle the way a real pump does. Departments can set their own friction-loss coefficients so the numbers match what they train and test on.
Does it count toward NFPA 1002 or ISO requirements?
Fire Pump Simulator is an independent training product and does not issue certifications. Its JPR self-tests follow the NFPA 1002 pump evolutions, and every completed session becomes a training record with real active time on the panel and the ISO PPC driver/operator category, which organization admins can export for an ISO/FSRS review. Whether those hours count toward a requirement is up to your department or authority having jurisdiction.
Can my department use it?
Yes. An organization lets an admin build your actual apparatus, hydrants, static sources, and line configurations, invite members, assign evolutions, watch sessions live with instructor fault injection, and review every member's sessions with roster-level reporting. Plans scale with your roster and start with a 30-day free trial.
