iFire 2.0

iFire 2.0 is an AI-driven fire simulation platform that lets responders and communities generate and experience unprecedented wildfire scenarios in real time. Users dynamically alter variables — wind speed, humidity, terrain — and rehearse their response inside a geo-located, photo-realistic fire ground on any 2D or 3D screen. Powered by Unreal Engine 5 and a deep learning fire behaviour model, it delivers experiential training that no historical footage can replicate. Available via a licensing model. 

Emergency services, government agencies and residents must train for fires unlike anything previously experienced. Climate-driven wildfires are increasingly catastrophic and unpredictable — yet all existing training tools rely on historical experience and scripted scenarios. The 2020 Royal Commission found the nation dangerously unprepared — Black Summer cost an estimated AU$100 billion.

Fire and emergency services agencies, defence and government bodies worldwide; the secondary market includes at-risk communities and educational institutions in fire-prone regions.

• Adopted by Fire and Rescue NSW for front-line training.
• AU$3.7M raised to date.
• Deployed across 3 countries; selected in 2026 for the European Network on Extreme Fire Behaviour showcase. unsw.to/ifire
