Abstract
The main parameters of the fire extinguishing system of arsenals, ammunition and explosives storage warehouses and ways of its improvement are determined. The latter made it possible to calculate the number and list of elements of modernization of the fire extinguishing system. A functional model of a modernized automatic fire extinguishing system in warehouses and arsenals is proposed, which should include a set of measures to create additional reservoirs, engineering equipment for explosive substances storage facilities and technical devices for automatic fire extinguishing with high costs of extinguishing agent. The peculiarities of the work are the description of the created experimental installation on the test of which the efficiency of the offered functional model of the modernized automatic fire extinguishing system was confirmed in laboratory conditions. Analysis of preliminary results of calculations and tests confirm that fire protection of explosives in places of their permanent or temporary storage, maintenance and preparation for transportation must be improved by upgrading the system as a whole. Namely, the creation of additional land fortifications, fire reservoirs on the territory, the use of modernized automated fire extinguishing systems in which to use powder pressure accumulators. At the stage of fire, the automatic fire extinguishing system must provide an increase in water consumption by 30%. Proposals are made to create conditions for fire fighting in warehouses and arsenals during works related to storage or utilization of explosive products and substances, the term of storage and use of which has expired by creating and using reserve fire reservoirs in the dangerous area. The directions of improvement of the fire alarm system are determined and the use of the automatic fire extinguishing system, which is energy - independent, noise-resistant, and easy to operate, is proposed.

Abstract
The issue of improving the safety of rescue vehicles to the place of call at the highest possible speeds is considered. It is well known that modern cars and trucks are equipped with radial design tires with steel cord in the breaker. Their improper operation (driving on a bad road at high speeds, constant tire overload, tire striking the curb, getting the tire into recesses) leads to the detachment of the metal cord in the rubber mass of the tire and the creation of a wavy surface of the sidewall of the tire. Safe operation of tires with such a defect is not possible. The solution to this issue led to the study of the problem of temperature distribution in the elements of a pneumatic tire, as well as to the study of the influence of tire design on the performance and reliability of an emergency vehicle. Experimental dependences of the temperature distribution in various elements of the tire are presented. It was established that the use of steel cord tires on emergency vehicles leads to their premature decommissioning due to fatigue damage at the edges of the belt, and not due to tread wear. Also considered is the problem of increasing the thermal stress in the shoulder area of a pneumatic tire of a radial structure with a metal cord in the breaker associated with the use of a shielding layer. Experimental dependences of the temperature distribution in various elements of the tire with and without a shielding layer are given. It is proposed to increase the safety of rescue vehicles to the place of call at the highest possible speeds to equip them with tires of a special design. The design of tires for rescue vehicles must meet the following requirements: have a diagonal design, do not have a shielding layer, the tread height should be less than that of conventional tires. This will allow the tires to go out of service due to tread wear, and not due to fatigue damage.

Abstract
In this work, experimental studies of the fire-retardant efficiency of the DSA agent for oak wood have been carried out. The dependence of the fire retardant efficiency on the mass of the dry agent was obtained, applied, which is important when processing oak wood with DSA. The influence of the characteristics of wood of various species on the effectiveness of fire-retardant impregnating agents was investigated using the example of oak and DSA agents. It has been established that the standard method of studies of fire retardant efficiency using exclusively pine cannot provide fair data on the effectiveness of the agent in other types of wood. So, according to the instructions of the means that the subject, 3 applications are necessary, but for oak to achieve the 1st group of fire retardant efficiency, 7 applications were required. After the study of the fire-retardant efficiency of the DSA is provided in the norms for the example of oak wood processing, the fire-resistance of other types of wood can be analyzed. In the course of previous studies, the fire retardant characteristics of the main fire retardants for some types of wood have already been obtained. Species of wood with a high density have poor impregnation, as a result of which more treatments are required to achieve the 1st group of fire retardant efficiency. The resulting dependence of the weight loss of a treated wood sample on the amount of fire retardant composition during standard tests makes it possible to perform engineering, economic and other calculations when performing works on fire protection. Tested standard fire retardant per-formance testing method using pine exclusively. It has been determined that standard test methods cannot be objective when processing species other than pine. Particularly useful for research is the dependence of the weight loss of a treated wood sample on the amount of fire retardant composition during standard tests, the effect of the characteristics of wood of various species on the effectiveness of fire retardant impregnating agents on the example of oak and DSA agents. Oak has a higher specific gravity than pine, so it is more difficult to add a sufficient amount of active ingredient.

Abstract
A method for measuring the partial capacities and the tangent of the dielectric loss angle of individual components of cable products that are in operation at energy facilities has been developed. This method is based on direct measurements of insulation components separately with subsequent assessment of the whole structure. This method makes it possible to assess in more detail the state of cable insulation, as cores, shields, metal sheaths are used as electrodes – to localize the probing electromagnetic field in certain parts of the cable: mainly in phase and solder insulation of power cables, in core insulation or in phase space control cables. Then, comparing the characteristics of the isolated areas of insulation with each other and with the basic products that have passed the accelerated resource tests, up to reaching the limit state – we make a reasonable conclusion about the current state of the cable product. However, in such measurements, the errors of partial capacitance measurements, and especially the tangent of the dielectric loss angle, can be large. The reason for this is the capacitive currents of the parasitic circuits discharged to the screen of the device. The paper proposes a method of reducing the mea-surement error, which limits the scope of the direct circuit only in cases where the capacity of the measured interval is much higher than the capacity of the parasitic circuits. The study on direct current is performed by devices with three terminals: two - measuring, the third - shielding - to remove excess current from the measuring circuit. The paper proposes such a scheme in the form of a triangle of capacitors, which allows for reliable measurements of the values of partial tanks, which compensates for the currents of the shunt circuits relative to the currents of the selected interval. The results of such control will allow to identify the areas of parameters that are most sensitive to the aging processes of cables, which, in turn, will prevent emergencies that could occur at energy facilities.

Abstract
To extinguish flammable liquids, it is proposed to use binary layers of granular foam glass + other light porous material. Granular foam glass serves as a material that ensures the buoyancy of the binary system. Exfoliated perlite and vermiculite are selected as materials that provide mainly insulating properties of the binary fire extinguishing system. The bulk density of light porous materials, their buoyancy and moisture retention have been experimentally determined. It is established that the low buoyancy of expanded perlite and vermiculite does not allow their direct use without prior application of a layer of crushed foam glass to extinguish gasoline. Experimental data obtained by the gravimetric method on mass burn-up rates and attenuation conditions of gasoline on the surface of which a binary fire-extinguishing layer of dry and wetted porous materials is applied are presented. It was found that the mass burnout rate of gasoline at a foam glass layer thickness of 0, 2 and 4 cm was 9.2 g / (m2 • s), 6.0 g / (m2 • s) and 2.7 g / (m2 • s), respectively ). In the case of using dry exfoliated perlite and vermiculite, which is applied to the base layer of foam glass with a height of 4 cm mass burning rate of gasoline is reduced by 2-4 times compared with the same layers of foam glass. The total fire-extinguishing height of the layer of dry perlite and vermiculite applied to the base layer of foam glass with a height of 4 cm is 2 cm. To extinguish gasoline only dry foam glass requires a layer of foam glass 6 cm applied to the base layer. In the case of using wetted materials with maximum moisture content applied to the base layer of foam glass, gasoline quenching is achieved by a layer thickness of wet foam glass 3 cm, and perlite and vermiculite 1 cm. Wetting of foam glass, exfoliated perlite and vermiculite and vermiculite leads to an increase in the fire-extinguishing properties of light porous materials.
