Collingwood, ON [30 April 2026] – The Collingwood Fire Department is partnering with Decisolve to pilot an advanced scenario‑based training platform that supports enhanced decision‑making and operational readiness in emergency fire response operations.
Through this pilot program, Collingwood personnel will utilize Decisolve’s immersive training library, which places users in dynamic, high-pressure scenarios that are customized to their unique needs. The technology is built to mirror the complexity of real incidents, helping firefighters sharpen critical thinking, improve situational awareness, and strengthen team coordination.
“We developed Decisolve to make emergency preparedness training easier, faster, and more effective” said Justin Brunner, CEO & Founder at Decisolve. “Partnering with the Collingwood Fire Department allows us to collaborate with a forward-thinking team that values innovation in training and is committed to preparing their firefighters for the realities of modern emergencies.”
“Maintaining the trust of our community means being responsible stewards of public safety and public resources,” said Dan Thurman, Fire Chief. “This pilot with Decisolve allows us to strengthen training for our firefighters, while ensuring our team is better prepared for the real world emergencies that impact our residents. Exploring innovative training like this helps us continue delivering the high level of service our community expects and deserves.”
Unlike traditional training methods, Decisolve’s platform enables departments to customize scenarios based on local risks, operational priorities, and evolving challenges. This adaptability ensures training remains relevant while providing measurable insights into performance and decision-making under pressure.
“Collingwood’s willingness to pilot this technology speaks to their leadership in the fire service,” added Brunner. “Together, we’re exploring how scenario-based training can elevate preparedness and ultimately contribute to safer outcomes for both firefighters and the communities they serve.”
The pilot will run over the coming months, with feedback from Collingwood firefighters playing a key role in refining the platform. Decisolve aims to use insights from the program to further enhance its offering and support broader adoption across fire departments in Canada and beyond.
