Virtual simulation types for conducting exercises of fire protection units

the research relevance lies in the fact that virtual modeling provides a unique opportunity to create almost identical conditions of a fire incident, and also allows during the exercises to work out various scenarios of fire development, interaction of trainees with the latest equipment. The research goal is to classify the types of virtual modeling that can be used to conduct exercises of fire protection units. As part of achieving this goal, the following tasks were solved in the study: the existing types of virtual models used in fire protection were studied; the advantages and disadvantages in terms of functionality for fire extinguishing training are considered; the virtual modeling types are most optimal for conducting exercises of fire protection units have been systematized. The research methodology includes: analysis of scientific literature, systematization and classification, comparative analysis, generalization, formal logical method. The results showed that the choice of a specific type of virtual simulation depends on the specifics of the tasks solved during the exercises. To create more realistic and complex scenarios that require practicing team interaction and decision-making under stress, virtual reality systems or combined solutions that combine elements of simulators and virtual reality are preferred.
