The article is devoted to the problem of ensuring fire safety in conditions of a large number of requirements, the assessment of the results of the joint implementation of which turns out to be a difficult-to-predict task. As a result, this does not allow drawing up an action plan to meet the requirements, taking into account the required effectiveness, efficiency and resource efficiency. For a deeper study of this problem, a review of scientific publications was made, which reflects these requirements, the effects of their joint implementation, the difficulties that arise that affect these external factors. At the end, a number of conclusions are drawn, one of which speaks of the need to create a method for ranking requirements, the application of which should take place in a continuous mode, thereby updating measures to ensure fire safety, depending on the current situation and the process of the development of the incident.
