DEVELOPMENT OF A SYSTEM OF INDICATORS FOR OPTIMIZING FIRE SERVICE CAPABILITIES IN ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

The aim of the study is to create a system of indicators that will improve the management of fire departments, minimize risks to personnel and property and ensure prompt response to emergencies. The article analyzes the existing methods and models used to optimize the activities of fire departments. The special attention is paid to mathematical modeling, which allows taking into account the type of object, building density, availability of water sources and other factors. Based on this analysis there are developed indicators taking into account economic feasibility, efficiency and safety in the management of fire forces. The proposed system of indicators addresses the basic principles of fire safety, including assessment of the level of risk to personnel, responsiveness, effectiveness of the technologies used and the system resilience to emergency situations. Among the main indicators there are «reaction time», «level of training and qualification of personnel», «availability of material resources» and «use of innovative technologies». The developed system is universal, its application is possible both at industrial and civil facilities.
