We have to be familiar with vast number of parameters when trying to determine phases of a fire and it's course, some of these parameters are connected with building's characteristics. Main building characteristic, that is fire load is a function of activity and is established as an statistical distribution. When the fire errupts the main concerns we have is the safety of people and property in building, which is endangered by smoke and heat. These two phenomenons are easily traced by the elements of fire protection. For successful prevention of occuring fires, it is crucial that the engineer in charge of designing building is familiar with all the important parameters which influences the fire course and it's development. And engineer must also choose the correct fire prevention system for the building.
