One of the main risk factors for the safe operation of tunnels, according to the design solutions of Georgian road tunnels, is the possibility of fire initiation with relevant negative consequences. The report will discuss the fire development scenarios under the ground based on the results of numerical modeling, as well as the recommendations for training and raising awareness of fire service personnel and rescuers depending on fire capacity, tunnel geometry, location and other factors, which will be applicable to the safe operation of transport tunnels and the survival of fire in the event of a fire.
