The aim is to analyze and evaluate person safety and evacuation in regard of fire in the stores mainly at ground level of the building. Jakobsbergs Centrum consists mainly of a shopping center and apartments. However this report is limited to the area with the shopping center that consists of about fifty stores. During a visit, likelihood and consequence was estimated for different fire scenarios at the center. Three scenarios were chosen and became the objects for a more detailed analyze. Time to critical conditions for these scenarios was estimated with the computer program CFAST and calculations by hand. The evacuation time was estimated with the computer program Simulex. The time to critical conditions was compared with the evacuation time to assess if the evacuation is acceptable. The conclusion of the evaluation is that a satisfactory evacuation cannot be guaranteed today and therefore some suggestions have been made how to improve the safety
