Study of regional characteristics of the parameters of large fires

Abstract

Introduction. The description of the scientific and methodological approach to determining the parameters of large fires, taking into account the characteristics of the operational activities of fire and rescue garrisons in the subjects of the Russian Federation, is given. Using Big Data technologies, data arrays were investigated and a method for classifying fires into categories "ordinary" and "large" was proposed, taking into account the parameters describing fire extinguishing actions. The following indicators are considered: the time interval of employment of fire departments in a fire; the number of mobile fire-rescue equipment involved in a fire; the number of devices for supplying fire extinguishing agents used in a fire, etc. The method makes it possible to determine the parameters of large fires, taking into account the peculiarities of the subjects of the Russian Federation, which makes it possible to develop management solutions for building up forces and means to extinguish large fires. Purpose and objectives. The purpose of the study is to develop a method for assessing the parameters of large fires, taking into account the characteristics of the operational activities of fire and rescue units. The objective of the study is to determine the parameters of large fires, taking into account the peculiarities of the subjects of the Russian Federation. Methods. The research uses methods of mathematical statistics and Big Data technologies. The initial information for the calculations used statistical data on fires and operational activities of fire and rescue units for the period from 2010 to 2021. Results and discussion. Taking into account the individual characteristics of the subjects of the Russian Federation, the parameters of large fires are determined. The obtained parameters make it possible to determine the conditions for the use of forces and means of fire and rescue units in a particular subject of the Russian Federation. Conclusions. The developed method makes it possible to determine the possible scale of the development of large fires on the territory of the subject of the Russian Federation. That, accordingly, will determine the necessary composition of the forces and means of the fire and rescue garrison to ensure the possibility of concentrating fire protection resources necessary for the successful elimination of a major fire.
