A METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE FREQUENCY OF FIRES AT FACILITIES WITH STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE OF VEHICLES RUNNING ON GAS FUEL

The paper analyzes statistical data on the number of vehicles in Russia, on the number of cars with installed gas cylinder equipment, as well as the number of fires on them. The main causes of fires on cars without a gas cylinder equipment device and with it have been identified and analyzed. Gas cylinder equipment is an integral part of the design, therefore, in a comprehensive assessment of the frequency of fires on the gas-powered cars, it is advisable to take into account statistical data on fires and accidents separately on gas cylinder equipment. Using the proposed method, statistical indicators were determined to determine the frequency of fires at facilities with the placement of gas-powered vehicles. Calculated values of the frequency of fire occurrence have been obtained, which can be used in calculating fire risk at facilities for the storage and maintenance of cars, including those with installed gas cylinder equipment.
