Evacuation as a way of fire protection in the health institutions

Abstract

Fire presents very often occasion, even in the modern world and can cause human victims and very serious destruction in the sense of material properties. So, it is very important to undertake every available potential to protect human lives and material properties. One of the most important procedures in the case of fire and not only fire is evacuation. Generally, evacuation is the safest, the shortest and the fastest way of moving humans, animals and material properties from endanger object/area to the secure location. The evacuation, as a very important way of protection presents always complex and open task that must be constantly improved. The evacuation will not be the same for the different objects, because there are objects with special properties that demand special procedures and actions. One of those objects are health objects. This review paper is written to show the examples of evacuation from different health objects and to present the use of simulation software as a inevitable tool in the evacuation object design.
