Synopsis:

The subject is divided into 2 thematically related parts, namely fire repression and the environment. In the fire repression section, students will get to know the organizational structure and legislation in the field of fire protection in the Czech Republic. The focus of the topic lies in the interpretation of the connections between the fire design of buildings on the one hand and the repressive activities of fire protection units when dealing with emergency and crisis events on the other. From the point of view of fire intervention, the issues of the basics of fire tactics, development and fire parameters, fire technical characteristics of flammable substances, calculation of forces and means, extinguishing agents are discussed. In connection with operation in buildings, activities with various fire hazards and corresponding conditions for fire fighting are defined. In the environment section, students will get to know the components of the environment, basic concepts and relationships, and also the safety risks in the components of the environment. As part of the exercises, the issue is supplemented by excursions to various water treatment facilities.
