STUDY OF THE FACTORS INFLUENCING THE FORMATION OF THE SITUATION WITH FIRES IN RURAL SETTLEMENTS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION SUBJECTS USING FACTOR ANALYSIS
Abstract
The authors have conducted the factor modeling using data on fire danger, on functional and resource status of fire protection and indicators of social and economic development of rural settlements of the Russian Federation subjects. The factor analysis has revealed a low level of protection from fires in small rural settlements. It is also shown that an increase in the arrival time of the first fire-fighting unit to the place of fire increasesthe mortality risk in a fire, and that with the increase in the average distance to the fire department, the fire risk magnitude is increasing. The obtained results will make it possible to developmeasures to reduce fire danger risks in rural settlements of the Russian Federation.
