This article describes the main provisions for assessing the safety of people during the evacuation from the buildings and structures in the event of a fire. The analysis of normative and scientific bases in the ensuring the safety of people during the evacuation showed the absence of psychophysiological patterns of behaviour and movement of people in the buildings of pre-trial detention facilities necessary to assess the estimated values of fire risk. The data presented in the methodology for assessing fire risks do not allow to reliably assess the probability of evacuating people in the event of a fire in such institutions, since the mode of operation of the facility is not taken into account. The key factor determining timely evacuation is the time of the beginning of the evacuation, depending on the behavioural aspects of the main functional contingent. The absence of such studies determines the need for field observations and experiments in the field of evacuation of people from the buildings of pre-trial detention facilities.
