Technology: Launch of new wildland fire fighting training services company Intellic Technologies
Becker Support Services, developers of aerial firefighting and wildland fire simulation software FS3D, has partnered with ground and aerial firefighting training services provider Anchor Flank & Pinch (AFP) to create Intellic Technologies. Intellic Technologies is a wholly owned and partnership-run limited liability company. Its mission is to develop safe, efficient and effective training services all year round. The company will focus on providing virtual and in-the-field wildland fire training to government agencies, aerial and ground support companies and US ally wildfire organisations around the world.
Chief Technology Officer, Trevor Maynard, said, “We've been working together with AFP for several years in the development of our proprietary software, FS3D, and integrating it into training programs for some of the largest wildland firefighting organizations in the country. This merger brings the best of all training options with immersive, virtual and cost-effective experiences to reduce the risks of one of the most dangerous jobs today.”
The Intellic team combines scientific experts and fireline leadership connecting wildfire training services and virtual reality simulation software, setting the standard of excellence in strategies and tactics for aerial and ground incident command training programmes.
“With the growing impact of climate change and increasing threat from wildfires, we’re helping create better-managed wilderness and landscapes using optimal fire management and suppression tools and tactics that help save lives, property and our natural surroundings,” said Ryan Becker, CEO. “We're creating training services and software with the latest knowledge and strategies to provide the most effective aerial and ground training possible.”
