Territorial and Organisational Elaboration of the Optimal Dislocation of Firefighting and Technical Rescue Units, an Analysis of Key Factors

Abstract

The optimal dislocation of firefighting and technical rescue units, if simplified, means that fire brigades in charge of interventions throughout the country are capable of commencing their operations with the required manpower and equipment within nearly identical response times in order to protect the lives and physical integrity and property of citizens and both natural and artificial environments. Ensuring the required set of criteria to this end entail interconnected questions of technical, organisational, public administration, societal and last but least economic factors.The author of this publication has undertaken a proposal for the territorial and organisational solution of the foregoing through examining the key factors defining optimal dislocation.
