Graphically shows the components of the total time of rescuing people in a fire, depending on these indicators. Also, a comparative analysis of the total time of rescuing people in a fire, taking into account the scheme number, period and place of use of the fire and rescue unit with the safe time of people in the room before the fatal concentration of carbon monoxide. The obtained results allow rese- archers to determine the total time of rescuing people in a fire with the appropriate adjustment of its components and the introduction of their relevant documentation.
