Abstract
A life table prototype was constructed based on fire fatality data in Belarus over the past 23 years. The need to transform traditional approaches to estimating the value of human life, taking into account the specific nature of deaths in emergency situations, was substantiated. An analysis of the age structure of the fatalities was conducted, allowing for a focus on the relationship between the probability of mortality and the age characteristics of the victims. Recommendations for possible uses of the obtained results are provided.
