ABSTRACT

The simulation game BURNING BUSHES is designed as a training tool for fire officers. It is intended as a complement to ground manoeuvres and to case studies for training in tactics for dealing with bush fires. In order to design it, the author sought advice from the trainers working for the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Officiers Sapeurs Pompiers (Nainville Les Roches F-91750).

BURNING BUSHES is designed as an asymmetrical war game in which one side made up of units (the firemen) fights to prevent the fire from spreading. It is suitable for 2 to 20 participants and can last for between 1 and 6 hours.
