The FireWare Interactive Incident Trainer never ceases to develop. It is our policy to involve the users in the process of development, in order to make sure that they can rely on quarterly customized updates.
We organize user days to pinpoint the demands and needs of the users and to determine which updates should be prioritized. Our most recent user day was organized in December 2018. An overview of the events of this user day can be found here.
