Simulador de como apagar um incêndio de pequeno porte com os principais tipos de extintores existentes

Abstract

Simulation games are widely used in applications ranging from professional training at different levels of realism (serious games like Hard-Core Simulator) to entertainment simulators (Casual Simulators). In this project, a serious game of the simulator category was developed, focused on extinguishing a small fire with the main types of extinguishers available in the market. In this simulator, the user can face fire situations in Class A and/or Class C objects and, for those situations, can choose between a H2O extinguisher and a CO2 extinguisher. Subsequently, the simulator was tested, with the help of volunteers, to evaluate its applicability as an educational tool. At the end of the tests, the volunteers answered to an evaluation survey about on the simulator and its contents. From the obtained results it was verified that the volunteers do not know the different classes of fire and the different types of extinguishing agents. In this context, this project emerges as a useful tool to spread content and to train people on firefighting.
