The authors of the paper deal with the possibilities of implementing modern simulation technologies in the educational process. They present a part of the results of the institutional grant project, which was implemented thanks to the support of the Department of Fire Engineering, Faculty of Security Engineering, University of Žilina. The aim of this project was to create a study with the analysis of current simulation solutions worldwide and to choose suitable possibilities of applying these technologies and simulation tools to the needs of the Fire and Rescue Services in the Slovak Republic. This analytical study also includes a questionnaire survey. The main objective of this preliminary questionnaire survey was to determine the methods of possible introduction of simulation technologies and virtual reality tools into the education and training of firefighters and rescue teams and to map current needs of future users. The results presented in the paper confirmed a growing interest in simulation and virtual reality tools. It has also been confirmed by the academic and field experts.

Keywords: Simulation tool, virtual reality, fire and rescue services, education, questionnaire survey
