Click on these 4 examples to see the schematics he created. [Example 1](https://info.action-training.com/Default.aspx?app=LeadgenDownload&shortpath=docs%2fFOG+Schematic+1.pdf) [Example 2](https://info.action-training.com/Default.aspx?app=LeadgenDownload&shortpath=docs%2fFOG+Schematic+2.pdf) [Example 3](https://info.action-training.com/Default.aspx?app=LeadgenDownload&shortpath=docs%2fFOG+Schematic+3.pdf) [Example 4](https://info.action-training.com/Default.aspx?app=LeadgenDownload&shortpath=docs%2fFOG+Schematic+4.pdf) As part of his Lieutenant’s promotional exam Dennis was given an assignment to work on updating the department FOG for apparatus placement at a scene. He had to turn in the updates on paper and provide diagrams illustrating apparatus positioning. **[StageIT](http://www.action-training.com/product.aspx?training=StageIT_Emergency_Response_Fire_Simulator&pid=541)** is most often thought of as a tool for an instructor to use and create simple to complex emergency response simulations. Often overlooked are the schematic diagrams included in StageIT’s media library which allowed Dennis (the testee not the instructor) to quickly create some aerial view schematics illustrating apparatus placement. It took him about a half an hour to produce the four professional looking schematic illustrations included in this folder. **Simple but effective.** He did not want to use an aerial map image view to illustrate the placements because too much distracting detail was shown in the photo. With these schematics the focus is all on the placement of the vehicles. While the schematics Dennis created can be projected on screen for use in a classroom, he was also able to print them out to hand in with his assignment. **[StageIT](Simple%20but%20effective.%20He%20did%20not%20want%20to%20use%20an%20aerial%20map%20image%20view%20to%20illustrate%20the%20placements%20because%20too%20much%20distracting%20detail%20was%20shown%20in%20the%20photo.%20With%20these%20schematics%20the%20focus%20is%20all%20on%20the%20placement%20of%20the%20vehicles.%20While%20the%20schematics%20Dennis%20created%20can%20be%20projected%20on%20screen%20for%20use%20in%20a%20classroom,%20he%20was%20also%20able%20to%20print%20them%20out%20to%20hand%20in%20with%20his%20assignment.%20StageIT%20provides%20an%20easy%20way%20to%20create%20real-world%20training%20solutions%20to%20enhance%20strategy%20and%20tactics%20planning,%20promotional%20testing%20and%20pre-incident%20planning.%20By%20the%20way,%20Dennis%20passed%20his%20exam%20with%20flying%20colors%20and%20is%20now%20a%20Lieutenant%20with%20the%20department.%20%20%20Pictured%20at%20Left:%20Dennis%20Elliott%20with%20his%20son%20Austin%20at%20his%20badge%20pinning%20ceremony.)** provides an easy way to create real-world training solutions to enhance strategy and tactics planning, promotional testing and pre-incident planning.  **By the way, Dennis passed his exam with flying colors and is now a Lieutenant with the department.** ![Fire Simulator Software, Dennis Elliott, StageIT](https://info.action-training.com/hs-fs/file-16695011-jpg/images/dennis_elliott.jpg?width=239&height=258&name=dennis_elliott.jpg)   Pictured Above: Dennis Elliott with his son Austin at his badge pinning ceremony.    [ Click here to see another example of StageIt Fire Simulator Software](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiE2_m9a-1E&feature=plcp&context=C357e4c5UDOEgsToPDskI9l9rPLOhQqKirH1qn1nMC) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.action-training.com/-Blog/bid/121663/Lieutenant-Discovers-New-Use-For-Fire-Simulator-Software#comments-listing) Tags: [firefighter training](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/firefighter-training), [EMS training](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/ems-training), [emergency responder Training](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/emergency-responder-training), [first responder training](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/first-responder-training), [Fire Simulator](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/fire-simulator), [Training schematics](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/training-schematics), [Field Operations Guide](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/field-operations-guide) [All posts](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/all) ### Subscribe via E-mail ### Latest Posts ### Posts by category - [firefighter training (22)](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/firefighter-training) - [emergency responder Training (16)](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/emergency-responder-training) - [EMS training (15)](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/ems-training) - [Fire training (15)](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/fire-training) - [first responder training (13)](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/first-responder-training) - [Fire Officer (5)](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/fire-officer) - [Industrial training (4)](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/industrial-training) - [AFG Grants Info (3)](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/afg-grants-info) - [EMT Training (3)](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/emt-training) - [Fire Simulator (3)](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/fire-simulator) - [vehicle extrication training (3)](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/vehicle-extrication-training) - [Field Operations Guide (1)](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/field-operations-guide) - [NVFC (1)](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/nvfc) - [Rescue training (1)](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/rescue-training) - [Training schematics (1)](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/training-schematics) - [ems tra (1)](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/ems-tra) - [fire simulation (1)](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/fire-simulation) - [hazmat training (1)](https://info.action-training.com/-blog/topic/hazmat-training) ### Listen to Blog - Click Here - [Home](http://www.action-training.com/default.aspx) - [Support](http://www.action-training.com/support) - [Download Catalogs](http://www.action-training.com/action_training_catalogs) - [About ATS](http://www.action-training.com/about) - [Warranty](http://www.action-training.com/warranty) - [Terms & Conditions](http://www.action-training.com/terms_and_conditions) © 2014 Action Training Systems, Inc.
