Build a mental map
Connect every name with its position in the district instead of memorising an isolated list.
DISTRICT FAMILIARIZATION · NEW ASSIGNMENT
New firefighter? Learn the streets around your station.
When an address comes in, knowing the main roads, side streets and intersections helps you understand the district being served. Name This Street turns your station area into short recall exercises on a real map.
FreeNo sign-upLocal progress
Place intersections
Learn how streets relate to one another and to the district’s main roads.
Understand the named district
Become familiar with the geographic vocabulary used around your crew.
Review difficult streets
Learning mode brings back streets that still need active recall.
FROM MAP TO RECALL
Recognising a street is not always the same as naming it.
A recruit may follow a route, recognise a landmark or find the station without being able to recall the street name immediately. District knowledge also grows through names, orientations and intersections.
“The street name comes in. Can you already place it in your district?”
The game provides a complementary practice space: attempt an answer, see the street in context and repeat until its name becomes familiar.
A SIMPLE ROUTINE
From the station outward, one street at a time.
Use the game between training activities to organise street-name recall. Start small, then expand the territory as the first roads become familiar.
- 1
Frame the station
Position the map over the immediate area of your assignment.
- 2
Create the area
Save that territory as your personal learning area.
- 3
Name the streets
Answer from the map or a street photo when one is available.
- 4
Review mistakes
Difficult streets return sooner in review sessions.
- 5
Expand the district
Gradually add main roads and neighbouring areas.
THE PRODUCT IN PRACTICE
A real map. Four choices. Immediate feedback.
Name This Street hides the label of a road in the selected area. Identify it from four names and the answer appears directly in its map context. Some questions also use street-level photos.
In learning mode, every street keeps its own history: new, learning, due or mastered. Progress stays in the browser, with no user account.
Try it with my station’s streets →AT SHIFT CHANGE OR BETWEEN ACTIVITIES
Turn a few available minutes into active recall.
A short session can target streets that are due or let you practise freely across the area.
THE RIGHT PLACE IN YOUR TRAINING
A memory supplement, not an operational tool.
The game’s value is deliberately specific: practising street-name recall and relative location. Incident decisions must always rely on your department’s approved tools, procedures and operational information.
What the game can supplement
- Initial familiarization with a new station district
- District tours and study of official maps
- Recall of main roads, side streets and intersections
- Personal review after a transfer or new assignment
What it does not replace
- Official training, assessment or driver qualification
- Procedures, operational plans, dispatch and routing tools
- Study of hydrants, access, hazards and traffic restrictions
- Approved navigation and decision-making during an incident
WHO IS IT FOR?
One district, several learning moments.
Recruit firefighter
Start around the station before gradually widening the territory.
New assignment
Rebuild your reference points after moving to a new station or district.
Volunteer firefighter
Practise at your own pace across a large or less frequently travelled territory.
Oncoming crew
Use the game as individual preparation before a district discussion.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Street learning for firefighters
How can a new firefighter learn the streets around a station?
Start with a small area around the station. Try to recall each name before seeing the answer, connect the street with its intersections and review confusing roads more frequently. Expand the area once the first district becomes familiar.
Does the game replace driver training or operational district knowledge?
No. It supplements only the learning of street names and positions. It does not replace department training, district tours, procedures, operational plans, dispatch tools or approved navigation systems.
Does the game include hydrants, hazards or building access information?
No. The game focuses on recognising streets from a map or photo. Hydrants, site access, specific hazards, traffic restrictions and other operational information must be studied from official sources.
How does learning mode work?
Define an area around the station. Each street keeps its attempts, mistakes, successful recalls, state and next review in the browser’s local storage.
Is Name This Street free?
Yes. The game is free, requires no sign-up and works in mobile and desktop browsers.
