Abstract Factors influencing the conditions in a road tunnel in a case of fire were considered. The specifics of road tunnels as parts of the transportation network from the safety point of view was discussed. A brief overview on tunnel emergency systems and evacuation process was presented. Selected road tunnels in Poland were taken into account and a number of scenarios of traffic accidents with fire were detailed described. Some observations from carried-out full-scale hot smoke test were used. As a result of each such case study the estimated number of threatened tunnel users was obtained. Conclusion section contains some recommendations which would lead to increase the safety level in road tunnels.
