The process of operational functioning of civil defense units under martial law was studied and a significant increase in the volume of their work compared to the period before the introduction of martial law was established. As statistical data, information on the specified process, which is related to extinguishing fires in urban settlements of the Kharkiv region for the period of 2021 and 2022, was used. The most rapid growth of dangerous events related to fires was found in residential buildings and structures, as well as in industrial buildings, production workshop buildings, industrial warehouse buildings, structures and external installations. Extinguishing fires mainly takes place without installing fire trucks on the water source, as well as with their installation on the external fire water main. The total consumption of water in more than 94 % of cases during extinguishing of fires in houses and residential buildings for the period of 2022 did not exceed 12 l/s. Greater water consumption was observed when extinguishing fires in industrial buildings, production workshop buildings, industrial warehouse buildings, structures and external installations. For the named group of objects, in 76 % of cases, water consumption for fire extinguishing did not exceed 12 l/s. It was established that the process of occurrence of dangerous events associated with fires in the territory of urban settlements cannot be described by the Poisson distribution law. On the basis of statistical data, the main requirements for fire tankers, which are operated in urban settlements under martial law, have been developed. The results of the research can be used to develop measures aimed at increasing the operational readiness of the civil defense forces to perform actions as assigned under martial law conditions.
