We currently live in a time when fi re safety of buildings and fi re prevention are signifi cant concerns. A considerable development in this area occurred in the last several decades and the fi eld is constantly developing. Enormous effort is put into the prevention of fi re or its subsequent spreading, but there are still situations in real life when one can ́t prevent these incidents completely. In most cases, several simultaneous factors may occur that one doesn’t foresee and that can’t be ruled out even by the best standards. Therefore, it is important to take these aspects into account and reckon with the worst possible scenario or, better still, prepare for it. Computer simulation programs can provide a prospective way of achieving this goal . Many of them are available in the present time and the choice depends predominantly on the specifi c fi re or evacuation situation which should be analysed. Obviously, one can use them not just for critical scenario projection, but also for reverse simulation when these programmes may help to discover the cause of the fi re. However, we should know well the mechanisms and mathematical apparatus that the particular programme uses in order to utilise all the available information and so that the simulation could approximate the real situation. The human safety should be always the major concern, that’s why such simulation programs are developed that focus on modelling human movement and behaviour. Some of them address just human movement without infl uence of fi re, which may be useful for assessing the time that people need to escape from building with complex structure. More fl exible, though, are applications which make possible to connect the model of fi re with evacuation. The latter way can relate fi re impact to human behaviour that is naturally infl uenced by fi re. It’s not easy to implement these factors into simulation programmes, because every person reacts to impulses in his/her individual manner. Therefore, this fi eld is constantly improving. In order to achieve new fi ndings and data, experimental evacuations are performed that provide useful information.
