Actual and future concerns in fire safety in buildings and infrastructure are challenging. Modern technologies provide rapid development in area of fire safety, especially in education, training, and fire-engineering. Modelling as a tool in fire-engineering provides possibility to design specific fire scenarios and investigate fire spread, smoke movement or evacuation of occupants from buildings. Development of emerging technologies and software provides higher possibility to apply these models with interactions of augmented and virtual reality. Augmented reality and virtual reality expand effectivity of training and preparedness of first (fire wardens) and second (firefighters) responders. Limitations such as financial demands, scale and scenarios of practical training of first and second responders are much lower than in virtual reality. These technologies provide great opportunities in preparedness to crisis in a safety way with significantly limited budget. Some of these systems are already developed and applied in safety and security area e.g. XVR (firefighting, medical service).

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires. The ignition of buildings in the WUI is a serious international problem due to large-scale fires in Australia, Greece, Portugal, Russia, and USA. In Russia, where forests occupy a large territory, the WUI fires are a national problem, and the damage to the real sector of the economy is tens and hundreds of million dollars per year.

Concrete filled tubular columns are widely used all over the world, due to their significant advantages, including attractive appearance, structural efficiency, reduced column footing, fast construction and high fire resistance without external fire protection. An experimental study has been carried out on the performance of joints between steel beams and concrete filled tubular columns in simple construction under fire conditions. The failure modes of the test specimens were always in the joint regions. Therefore, if the joints are appropriately designed and protected so that they possess sufficient strength, it is possible for the steel beam to develop catenary action and survive very high temperatures even without fire protection.
