The work of fire departments is influenced by various factors that bring risks. The security of fire fighters is the most important thing when performing their job. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure their security by identifying risks and eliminating them in advance. Virtual reality resources help to increase the safety of firefighters during professional training activities. These activities are conducted with the usage of simulators, practical exercises and simulations; however, these exercises can only partly get them closer to reality. We claim that virtual reality is a huge aid for firefighters, and that by using this tool, efficient protection of life and health as well as property can be provided. The submitted article discusses the current state of virtual reality resources and their use in the professional training of fire brigades and rescue units. It also discusses the benefits of virtual reality use.

In contrast with common belief, in the case of damage events associated with fire a significant portion of victims die not as a result of burn injuries but suffocation. In modern architecture, including hotels, synthetic materials are broadly applied that produce toxic substances when they burn. In addition to toxic substances, the risk of suffocation is also increased by the depletion of oxygen as the fire spreads. Thus, for the successful rescue of the people whose lives are directly or indirectly endangered, their fast evacuation from the scene is of fundamental significance, even by causing material damage.

Straż Pożarna ma w naszej ojczyźnie wysoką pozycję i jest wyjątkowa ceniona przez społeczeństwo. Ostatnie lata i miesiące dobitnie o tym świadczą. 95. rocznica urodzin Teofila Firlika, strażaka i pioniera Szczecina skłoniła autora do przygotowania niniejszego artykułu o tym bohaterskim człowieku. Dla strażaka Teofila Firlika, który przybył do Szczecina 4 maja 1945 r., miał to być początek nowego, powojennego życia. Z nim wiązał duże plany, marzenia i zapewne bardzo wierzył, że jest w stanie je zrealizować w nowej rzeczywistości. Niestety, zginął na posterunku 9 maja. Był on jednym z pierwszych, którzy oddali życie w powojennym Szczecinie. Dawni mieszkańcy Szczecina nazwali ulicę jego imienia, ufundowali mu tablicę pamiątkową i budynek, który idealnie pasuje do ulicy. Jest on dla szczecińskich strażaków symbolem walki z ogniem, a dla mieszkańców Szczecina – bohaterem.

Fire Service in our country has a high position and is particularly appreciated by society. Recent years and months have clearly demonstrated this. The 95th anniversary of the birthday of Teofil Firlik, a fireman and pioneer of Szczecin has prompted the author to prepare this article about this heroic man. For fireman Teofil Firlik who came to Szczecin on 4 May 1945, it was to be the be-ginning of a new, post war life. He associated with this some big plans, dreams and very probably believed that he was able to purse them in the new reality. Unfortunately, he died when being on duty on 9 May that year. He was one of the first who gave their lives in the post-war Szczecin. Former Szczecin’s residents named a street after him, founded a commemorative plaque and a building which perfectly fits to the street. For the Szczecin’s firemen, he is a symbol of fire fighting, and a hero for the Szczecin’s residents.
