About this simulation

Puesto de mando (Incident Command Post). Spanish vocational training (FP), grado medio: module 1534 Coordinacion de equipos y unidades de emergencias of the Tecnico en Emergencias y Proteccion Civil title (Real Decreto 907/2013, de 22 de noviembre).

Aitana Llorach, 27, a corporal acting as watch commander at the fictional Castrovell county fire station of the Ruesca Valley Fire Consortium, runs a night watch of four crews for fourteen municipalities under an orange wind warning, with calls arriving at the same time.

Four rounds, each an action and a status, reinforcement, personnel-control or reporting choice: two simultaneous calls and what the 112 centre knows about the crews; a third call and reinforcements; crew reliefs at a wind-damaged warehouse and tracking who is in the work zone; the handover to the day watch and the intervention report.

Scored on a safety margin for people and crews, response time added per phase, avoidable damage and costs after what a good choice avoids, and a county-coverage index. Three hard-fails cap the round at 40: leaving a call with a trapped person unanswered, sending crews into a damaged structure to save stock, and abandoning an open incident because the shift ends.

The lesson: keeping a reserve is part of the response, not a lack of action. Training level only; stylised values, no real response times, staffing ratios or operational procedures; decision practice that complements supervised practical training. Spanish player-facing strings with English parity.

What participants learn

After the session, participants will be able to:

  • Decide how to assign limited crews to simultaneous incidents so that no trapped person waits, keeping one crew in reserve for the next call and the 112 centre told every crew's status
  • Release a crew from a controlled incident before spending the reserve, and call the next station and the on-call staff as soon as the reserve is committed
  • Relieve tired crews with the reinforcement, work a damaged structure from outside when nobody is inside, and know at every moment who is in the work zone
  • Hand over open incidents with the incident board and on site, so that nothing is lost at the change of shift
  • Evaluate the night in an intervention report with times, resources, use of the reserve and an improvement for each gap, and argue with figures why the most active-looking option is rarely the best

Prerequisites

  • Has practised fireground work in modules 1530 and 1531

Who it is for

An intermediate simulation for participants who already know the core concepts of the subject, designed for master's and MBA programmes.

How a session runs

  1. The instructor creates a session from the Eureka dashboard and invites the participants.
  2. Participants play 4 rounds. In each one they submit their decisions and the simulation calculates the results. The first round opens with: Sábado 20 de noviembre, 21:40: dos avisos a la vez.
  3. The simulation can be run in English, Español.
  4. The instructor follows each participant's progress and results from the dashboard, and uses the class results for the debrief.

Decisions participants make

The decisions participants make during the simulation:

  • Cómo repartes las dotaciones
  • Qué sabe el 112 de tus dotaciones
  • Cómo atiendes el tercer aviso
  • Qué haces con el refuerzo
  • Cómo trabajan las dotaciones
  • Cómo controlas quién está en la zona
  • Cómo entregas la noche
  • Qué pasa con lo ocurrido esta noche
