IT IS A CHALLENGE FOR FIRST RESPONDERS AND FIREFIGHTERS IN RURAL COMMUNITIES TO HAVE ACCESS TO REGIONAL TRAINING CENTERS FOR SIMULATION-BASED TRAINING. IN RURAL COMMUNITIES, THESE STAFF ARE GENERALLY PART OF SMALL CREWS AND IT IS DIFFICULT, COSTLY, AND, IN THE CASE OF COVID19, DANGEROUS TO TRAVEL TO THESE TRAINING EVENTS. TODAY THE AVAILABILITY OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES HAS MADE IT POSSIBLE TO PROVIDE REMOTE RADIO SIMULATION TRAINING FOR THESE USERS. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL PROVE THE FEASIBILITY OF USING THESE TECHNOLOGIES IN AN INNOVATIVE CONFIGURATION THAT WILL SUPPORT THESE RURAL COMMUNITIES AND THEIR FIRST RESPONDERS.
