Purpose. Identification of the most dangerous zones for life and health of the population in areas subject to earthquakes, clarification of appropriate measures to save people and eliminate fires.
Methods. Comparative, analytical and heuristic methods for the analysis of fires during earthquakes were applied, taking into account the technical condition of buildings. The foreign experience of eliminating the effects of earthquakes and secondary fires has been used.
Findings. The features of fires that occur during various destruction of buildings due to earthquakes and natural disasters are revealed, which allow to determine the tasks and goals of rescue units in the destruction zones. The factors contributing to the occurrence and spread of such fires are clarified. A set of measures is proposed aimed at preventing fires before and during an earthquake.
Application field of research. The results of the research can be applied when conducting exercises related to the earthquake and resulted fires to develop the interaction of fire and rescue units with the population as well as propagating life safety rules for developing sustainable survival skills in earthquakes and fires in the population.
