Simulationsare a great tool for developing decision-making skills. They are especially effective training for “soft” skills. Soft skills are often referred to as the three Rs: Reading, Recognizing and Reacting. Reading is seeing the critical cues at an incident, things likebuilding construction,fire dynamics和救援概况。认识到基于观察到的临界提示的模式。最后，反应是选择一种行动方案，该方案可能会根据您先前在类似事件的经验而影响事件的结果。自然主义决策研究员加里·克莱因（Gary Klein）将这一过程描述为识别启动决策或RPMD。为了发展这些“软技能”，有必要在各种事件情况下获得经验。通过事件模拟培训是实现这一目标的一种方法。
在本月的脱衣舞购物中心模拟中，您是发动机1官员，将在事件中首先到期。您将在以下调度中出现：“发动机1，Engine 2，Engine-3，Ladder 1和Battalion 1，在Hoffmantown购物中心的Wing Basket餐厅中回应8246 Menaul Blvd。”

霍夫曼敦购物中心于1950年代初建造了普通建筑。多年来，各种居住者已经多次易手，并且也进行了许多翻新。没有内置的防火系统，也没有地下室。当您到达现场时，翼篮餐厅经理会见了您，他们告诉您他们在厨房里有油脂火，他们试图用便携式灭火器扑灭，但现在已经失控了。他说每个人都不在餐厅。
Start the strip mall fire simulation video above. You will be prompted to pause the video and give a radio report at several key points.
The first radio transmission you will provide is a standard size-up report. This radio report should include the following elements:
- Arrival on scene
- Building area/size
- Building height (number of stories)
- Problem description
- Action being taken (assignments for the E-1 crew)
- Assume and name command
- Any resource needs
The size of this strip mall makes it impractical for you as the Engine 1 officer to conduct a 360° survey of this building.
当其他单元在场景中报告时，将提示您暂停视频并进行作业。使用任务，位置，目标（TLO）格式进行分配。一个示例任务可能是：“梯子1从发动机1拉率1，（任务）转到一楼（位置），获得“全部清晰”，并检查伸展火。”（客观的）
When Battalion 1 arrives on scene, make a command transfer using your department’s standard command transfer process (if applicable).
Formulate Conditions, Actions, Needs (C.A.N.) reports for the assigned units based on the visible conditions and information provide when prompted to do so.
Finally, have Battalion 1 give an assignment to Engine 3 using the TLO format based on the C.A.N. reports from the assigned units.
使用模拟的最有效方法是获取有关您的表现的反馈（对广播报告有经验丰富的官员或同事批评），并再次通过模拟，并结合了反馈。
