The paper presents the capabilities of a computer program for studying tactical hose line deployments from fire trucks. Due to the high costs of laboratory and field testing, the analysis of tactical fire-fighting systems is increasingly being conducted using specialized computer programs to perform simulations. The only program of this type in Poland was developed, tested, and implemented as an exercise within the Hydromechanics laboratory at the Main School of Fire Service. It allows for the determination of all essential parameters of hose line deployments from selected fire trucks under given initial fire conditions for a chosen object. The results are presented in both tabular and graphical formats with the option to print them.The advantage of numerical simulations is the ability to relatively easily, quickly, and, above all, inexpensively analyze the impact of various system configurations for different fire scenarios.
