In thesis consider the new approach of forecasting and spreading of fires in rural settlements with use percolation models and of the neural networks. It also gives recommendations for planning of fire prevention, firefighting strategy. The percolation process represents the spreading of the process through the grid where there is at least one continuous way through adjacent nodes from the one side to the opposite one. The neural network is description of process fire development on difficult building objects with weather conditions.

This paper deals with the most problematic area of massive wood construction from the fire protection point of view. The chink (the void between wooden logs) provides a path for the spread of fire. Two-constituent insulation is usually used to seal this void. Whether two-constituent insulation or a combination of insulation materials is significant from the fire resistance point of view is experimentally assessed.

Any company should always define a couple of scenarios which, with highest possible probability, foresee the development of the environment....
