Abstract


Fire is one of the most dangerous occurrences in human history. Many lives have been lost in fires. Apart from human lives, a fire can destroy everything on its way-animals, vegetation, assets. Fire protection is as old as fire occurrence. The task of fire protection is to mitigate the effects of fires. The best way is, undoubtedly, fire prevention, but, if a fire occurs, fire fighting must be carried out quickly and effectively in order to save endangered humans and material properties. One of the most effective, safest and cheapest ways of fire protection is the usage of simulation software. This paper has been written to demonstrate the reasons and the advantages of simulation software usage in prediction of fire situations, fire development, fire spread all with the aim to protect human lives, animals, vegetation and material property.
