Abstract
This research work, an assessment of the level of fire safety and an analysis of the fire safety situation in medical institutions were carried out. Documents on fire safety issues, a scheme of fire extinguishing equipment, draft orders for the appointment of persons responsible for fire safety and primary fire extinguishing equipment were developed. The management of the institution is responsible for ensuring fire safety in healthcare facilities. Violations of standard construction norms and rules, technological design norms established in the institutions should not be allowed, and detected violations should be eliminated immediately. Each employee of the institution must know the fire safety rules, strictly observe these rules and the fire prevention regime in the relevant area, and in the event of a fire, take all measures that depend on it to save people and extinguish the fire.
