The authors of the contribution present the possibility of using modern simulation tools based on computer software - applications for the needs of emergency responders, especially for fire fighters. They point out different features of simulation technologies and recommend their implementation in the process of lifelong preparation, training and education of the members of Fire and Rescue Services as the new trend for the comprehensive improvement of preparedness and safety of fire fighters and rescuers. The contribution also presents basic research supported by institutional grant project of the University of Žilina. In agreement with research results, the authors propose a new simulation model design. This model can be used for designing and programming serious games and software for education of fire fighters. It is the first time the simulation model has been designed with active cooperation and support of the Fire and Rescue Services in Slovakia.
