Reliable establishment of a set of factual data on the mechanism of the occurrence and development of gorenje is a necessary starting point for the qualification of the crime and the identification of the perpetrators. An official of a Forensic Expert Institution of the Federal Fire Service “Test Fire Laboratory” of the EMERCOM of Russia (FEI FFS TFL), when working out various versions of a fire, should not consider the version of the occurrence of a fire from heating, unfounded, relying only on his many years of experience and the theoretical possibility of what is happening. In this case, an employee or employee of the FEI FFS TFL must be based on more fundamental methods and techniques for determining the cause of the occurrence with the subsequent development and spread of the fire. This article discusses the possibility of using mathematical calculation methods for the purposes of forensic fire and technical expertise on the example of a specific fire that occurred in a part of a residential building.

The article presents algorithms for establishing the basic fire safety requirements for production and storage facilities and buildings, depending on their classification by explosion and fire hazard. One of the proposed algorithms was tested, namely, the task was solved to establish the basic fire safety requirements for the premises where it is planned to organize production. Variants of further application of the proposed algorithms in the practical work of organizations and specialists solving issues in the field of fire safety at the stage of design and operation of protected objects are considered.

The linear velocity of flame propagation over the surface of highly flammable liquids is one of the most important indicators of fire hazard. In this paper, vL was experimentally determined for aqueous solutions of acetone, 1-propanol, and 2-propanol. It is shown that with a decrease in the concentration of HFL in the solution, the vL decreases. A direct correlation was also established between the measured values of vL of acetone, 1-propanol and 2-propanol and their ignition temperatures.

The paper contains an analysis of the possibilities of using professionally significant qualities assessment based on the assessment center method in the course of training with the use of training complexes in the professional selection, adaptation and training of cadets of educational organizations of the Ministry of emergency situations of Russia. An algorithm for conducting an assessment center to assess the professional adaptation of cadets of educational organizations of the Ministry of emergency situations of Russia is proposed. It is shown that one of the most important directions of training cadets and trainees as gas and smoke protectors is the introduction of new training complexes and their active use in the educational process.

The complexity of conducting an expert examination of fires that occur in cars and determining the technical cause of the fire is due to the presence of numerous electrical devices in their design. One of these devices is a starter, which converts the electrical energy of the battery into the mechanical energy of rotation of the engine crankshaft. The operation of the starter is accompanied by the release of high power in a small volume in a short period of time. In the electrical circuit of the car, the starter does not have protection against overcurrents and short-circuit currents. The practice of fire investigation shows that these devices often cause a fire in motor vehicles. Based on the analysis of the data obtained during the examinations, the main causes of fire-hazardous emergency processes in automobile starters were established. Also, the characteristic signs of these processes that can be detected after a fire within the framework of complex fire-technical and auto-technical examinations are revealed.

Determination of the duration of a fire within the framework of confirming the rule of thumb of international documents on the need for fire-resistant treatment of supporting structures of technological equipment (apparatuses) containing flammable, flammable liquids and flammable gases

In the Russian Federation, fire safety regulations define the required fire resistance limits for the supports of technological equipment / tanks and equipment support structures at oil and gas facilities as deterministic values, while the possibility of using alternative approaches, including based on the duration of the fire, is not implemented in Russian regulations. One of the alternative methods is detailed [7], which is widely used by international companies when determining the need for passive fire protection. On the basis of one of the methods, using the example of a real technological module, the calculation of the time of a fire of a hydrocarbon spill was carried out depending on the amount and type of combustible substances in the technological containers, taking into account the different spreading area of the product. Based on the results of calculations, the time indicators of the duration of the fire were determined. The obtained values can be used as the time of an equivalent fire for further solving issues of fire resistance rating of structures of supports of technological equipment and equipment support structures.
