Based on the analysis of the regulatory support of the operation of the strip of psychological preparation in the territorial divisions of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, the place of the strip in the training of fire-rescuers and rescuers was established and a change in its name was proposed. The experience of using by the territorial divisions of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, educational institutions of civil protection, the Ukrainian Civil Protection Research Institute the strip of psychological preparation in the system of service training of fire-rescuers and rescuers is given, the composition parts of the strips of psychological preparation available in the divisions are analyzed. The absence of a unified approach to the structure of a typical strip of psychological preparation and the expediency of developing technical and regulatory documentation of the strip of preparation (modules). Taking into account the proposals of the territorial divisions of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, educational institutions of civil protection, the Ukrainian Civil Protection Research Institute on the using the strip of psychological preparation in the system of official training of fire-rescuers and rescuers, programmed the main components of the modules (simulators). The statistical data on fires during 2013-2017 are analyzed, the conditions were determined in which fire extinguishing was carried out by the State Emergency Service workers in living rooms, in production facilities, in trade and storage facilities. Conditions, which complicated the fire extinguishing, the general characteristics of the objects of fires and obstacles, which fire-rescuers were overcoming during performing the tasks for the intended purpose were given. To determine the main obstacles through which rescuers moved, and the conditions in which the rescuers worked during carrying out tasks for their purpose, the analysis of statistical data on the quantitative indicators of classified emergency situations, the characteristics of emergency situations and examples of participation of the personnel of the Operational-Rescuer Services of Civil Protection in the liquidation of emergency situations was conducted. The main obstacles that must be overcome and the conditions necessary to create on the strip of preparation for fire-rescuers and rescuers during working out skills of work in difficult and extreme conditions. Taking into account the foreign experience of fire divisions, it was proposed to form a strip from separate functional modules.

The issue of the necessity of developing state standards in the sphere of illuminating and orienting and lighting fire equipment in Ukraine as for classification and general requirements in general and general technical requirements and methods of fire-rescuer lantern tests, in particular, are considered. The main provisions of these standards, which are developed in the Ukrainian Civil Protection Research Institute (UkrCPRI) and on the recommendation of the Standardization Technical Committee of Ukraine TC 25 "Fire safety and fire protection equipment" are outlined and have been earlier introduced to the Program of works for the national standardization for the year of 2018. The application of the basic provisions of these standards will contribute to the introduction of the leading world scientific and technological achievements in Ukraine in the development and production of illuminating and orienting and lighting fire equipment in general, and in particular testing of purchased foreign lanterns for compliance with standardized technical requirements, which will allow more objectively evaluate and compare their technical specifications. In this case, the results of the testing of some test methods and test equipment are presented, according to ANSI/NEMA FL1-2009 Flashlight Basic Performance Standard, when conducting research in UkrCPRI of the best world models of lanterns equipped with modern LED sources of light, power sources, electronics, etc., in particular two fire-rescuer lanterns: Peli 3765 LED (USA) and Vantage®180 (USA), a group fire lantern VULCAN® LED ATEX LANTERN (USA), which are currently supplied domestic fire trucks ООО «VК «Pozhmashyna» and experimental model of  personnel fire lantern developed in UkrCPRI. The specified test methods apply to the following basic lighting technology characteristics of the lantern, such as: light flux, peak power of light and duration of operation of the lantern, useful range of light beam.
