Experience High-Impact Training That Saves Lives.

Our solutions are built to  transform routine drills into realistic, stress-tested, decision-driven training environments.  When firefighters, responders, and instructors experience real sensory pressure — smoke, sound, chaos, and explosive movement — their reactions sharpen, communication strengthens, and performance becomes instinctive.

Engineered for Realism.

Built for Those
Who Run Toward the Fire.

OPCON delivers fully immersive training systems that recreate the intensity, confusion, and sensory overload of real emergencies —without risking lives.

 

True readiness only comes when firefighters are tested at full speed: zero visibility, deafening noise, unknown conditions, and split-second decisions.

 

Our technology empowers instructors to build high-stakes, repeatable scenarios that push teams to their limits, sharpen instincts, and strengthen the courage required to step into danger — so when the moment comes, they’re not surprised. They’re prepared.

Thermal Runaway

Thermal runaway is no longer a rare event — it’s one of the fastest-growing fire-ground threats. Lithium-ion batteries can transition from smoke to violent failure in seconds, releasing extreme heat, toxic off-gassing, and cascading ignition hazards that challenge even the most experienced crews.

 

OPCON’s training systems give departments a safe, repeatable way to simulate these high-risk EV incidents without destroying vehicles or compromising safety.

Create realistic thermal escalation scenarios that drive size-up decisions, cooling strategies, water application tactics, coordinated ventilation, and incident command under real pressure — because when it happens on the street, preparation is the only advantage.

Vehicle Fire &
Engine Explosion

  • Combustable Engine Fire

  • Bumper / Wheel Strut Explosion

  • Magnesium Steering Column Explosion

  • Airbag Deployment

OPCON’s integrated simulators and smoke systems give training chiefs and facility directors a safe, repeatable way to recreate those events on demand.

 

Build scenarios that force size-up, positioning, hose line placement, and crew communication under real stress —without sacrificing safety or burning extra vehicles.

Backdraft

Backdraft conditions develop quietly, then change everything in an instant. Superheated, oxygen-starved environments can explode with devastating force the moment a door is opened or a window fails.

 

OPCON training systems allow instructors to safely recreate the warning signs, pressure cues, and rapid fire behavior changes that lead to backdraft events —without risking crews or facilities.

 

Build controlled scenarios that challenge size-up, communication, door control, ventilation timing, and coordinated entry, giving firefighters real experience with one of the most dangerous and misunderstood fireground phenomena. Because recognizing the moment before it happens is what saves lives.

B.L.E.V.E

Train for high-pressure vessel failure events with controlled, repeatable realism. OPCON systems enable instructors to safely simulate rapid pressure escalation, vessel compromise, and energy-release cues that drive tactical decision-making under stress.

 

Build evolutions that refine standoff placement, coordinated cooling streams, exposure protection, collapse zone management, and command sequencing — without sacrificing equipment, safety, or operational tempo.

 

Designed for training chiefs and facilities that demand high-fidelity scenarios and performance under pressure.
