Systems and methods for training firefighters

A method for training firefighters, the method comprising:

• with a plurality of sensors, detecting at least one ambient condition and generating an electrical signal corresponding to the detected ambient condition;
• transmitting the electrical signals to a receiver;
• storing the electrical signals;
• using a processor configured to receive the electrical signals from the receiver, calculating variations in the at least one ambient condition;
• and
• displaying the stored electrical signals for review.

A system for training firefighters, the system comprising:

• a plurality of sensors configured to detect at least one ambient condition, each of the sensors adapted to generate an electrical signal corresponding to the detected ambient condition;
• a receiver configured to receive the electric signals from the plurality of sensors;
• a digital storage device operatively connected to the receiver and adapted to store the electrical signals;
• at least one video recorder configured to detect substantially continuous video images, the video recorder adapted to generate electrical signals corresponding to the detected video images;
• and
• a synchronizer adapted to synchronize the electric signals from the plurality of sensors with the electrical signals from the at least one video recorder.
