Introduction
Worldwide trend in projection of fire safety construction tends to promote complex and economical design by means of fire safety
engineering. Fire safety engineering is basically an analysis of some space in object.

Fire scenario
In the fire safety engineering is commonly used process of creation fire
scenarios and probability calculation. Number of these scenarios would be
practically limitless, because there are many variations of factors
influencing diffusion of the fire.
Procedure
After the determination of certain number of scenarios are all
particular steps analysed.
After the evaluation of selected scenarios, a classification of
hazard is assessed in terms of the number of affected persons
and probability of the scenario
Event tree
The first situation in event tree is a fire
initiation. Fire can be initiate in three single
sectors. So every sector gets its probability
(P1, P2, P3) and scenarios are S1 - n.
Single steps that designer should follow are:

Utilization
In practice it is very important to know where fire can
originate, what probability of initiation in specific place it can
have and what will be its impact on occupants in the object.
