Digital training for fire alarm systems
Schwäbisch Gmünd | 28.11.2025 | BOS-Akademie
Our long-awaited BMA-Trainer is here. With this app, fire departments and other emergency services can practice the entire process of responding to a fire alarm in a realistic manner—even in locations where no real fire alarm system is installed.
In just a few minutes, a digital building with floor plans, detector groups, and corresponding route maps can be created on a tablet or computer. In practice mode, the team works through the sequence as if it were a real emergency—from the initial alarm to resetting the system.

Operation is based on real-world use:
