Abstract

A methodology for conducting experimental studies has been developed, which allows one to obtain quantitative estimates of the time of operational deployment from fire tankers, which will simultaneously characterize the class of the fire fighting vehicle, the level of preparedness of personnel and the influence of the number of crews of departments of fire fighting vehicles of different classes by the first operational and rescue unit during liquidation (localization) of technogenic emergencies. Experimental studies, in which subjects from among the cadets of the National University of Civil Protection of Ukraine and fire-fighting operational and rescue units of the Main Directorate of the State Service of Ukraine for Emergency Situations in the Kharkiv region participated, showed that at a significance level of α= 0.05, the results obtained during certain exercises on operational deployment, taking into account the number of the composition of the operational calculation from tank trucks of various classes, in all cases differ significantly. It is shown that at the stage of primary training of rescuers, it is necessary to pay increased atten-tion to training in performing various options for operational deployment from a fire-rescue vehicle in conditions of a decrease in the number of the operational crew of the department, determining the necessary additional operations that must be performed by each rescuer in the absence of the corresponding operational crew number. The strength of the results obtained is the determination of reliable indicators (with a significance level of α= 0.05), which can be the basis for substantiating specific proposals for organizing operational work in conditions of a reduced number of operational calculations for operational and rescue units of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, fire rescue vehicles of different classes, primarily standards for an objective assessment of the level of preparedness of personnel.
