Assessment of Risk Factors of Critical Points in Forest Firefighting in Difficult-to-Access Sites

Abstract

The paper addresses the issue of forest fires and critical points in activities related to extinguishing and transport of extinguishing agent to the fire site. With the increasing incidence of forest fires, there are also serious implications for the environment, ecosystems and communities. The relevance of this topic is indisputable, as forest fires are becoming more frequent and intense, with a consequent need for systematic analysis. In this paper, critical sites are identified and assessed, and a description of the equipment used to extinguish a particular fire is provided, with a description of the firefighting strategy in a difficult-to-access site in forest firefighting. This paper shows the effective solution in extinguishing forest fires and then in the design of measures to minimize this risk. We have also assessed the risk activities in this paper. The intent of this article is to show how to effectively extinguish a forest fire. The knowledge gained and recommendations made are aimed at improving firefighter preparedness, techniques and tactics to extinguish forest fires.
