With a mission of trying to “reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating consensus on codes and standards, research, training, and education” the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) was searching for safe and innovative methods to help further their classroom training by including scenarios and settings that would normally be too dangerous to attempt.

With the utilization of videos and highly-detailed images, the NFPA would be able to help students witness potentially dangerous and illegal scenarios within the safety of the classroom. With the utilization of videos and highly-detailed images the NFPA would be able to help learners witness potentially dangerous and illegal scenarios within the safety of the classroom. Learners would also be able to utilize additional visuals to understand proper warehouse regulations and layouts, practice creating schematics, and visualize correct and incorrect installation to ensure all safety precautions are met.

The most challenging part of the project would be working with NFPA standards to help ensure the representations they were looking for were not only visually appealing, highly accurate to match the AutoCAD blueprints of every pipe, wall, and sprinkler head. Since there are currently no visual references for learners to examine it would also be important to display scenarios that were potentially dangerous and life threatening.
