This article will explore and collect information about the “PATHFINDER” simulation program for training fire safety specialists. Each year, the training programmes of the higher education institutions are developed and improved, including Riga Technical University, which aims to prepare high level specialists. Important issues for training of fire safety specialists are the use of up-to-date data and accurate information, which enables students to acquire necessary knowledge based on the latest scientific advances in the training process. Overall, the training process for safety professionals should be based on the acquisition of competitive knowledge, which will enable prospective professionals to have better jobs and better pay in the labour market. It is important to train fire safety specialists to know what is topical in 21st century, so the benefits of training students through the “PATHFINDER” computer simulation programme will be considered as part of the work. As part of the work, the benefits of PATHFINDER will be explained. Mathematical modelling of the emergency situation and comparison with previously applied methods in the training process will be performed. The results of the study may be used for the implementation of further improvements in the training process, as well as for the preparation of a more effective training programme related to the training of fire safety specialists. Achieving the goal will provide an opportunity to prepare the specialists needed for the labour market, who can use modern tools and effectively plan fire safety measures in objects of any complexity
