Аnnotation

A simulation model of the operational deployment of fire and rescue vehicle calculation numbers with an air blower installation is proposed. The simulation modeling was carried out using a network model. The calculations of the mathematical expectation and the standard deviation of each individual operation of the operational deployment of fire and rescue vehicle calculation numbers with an air blower installation allowed us to analyze the proposed model and determine the critical path. The critical path in the simulation model of operational deployment with an air blower installation is the path of actions of rescuer № 2 and rescuer № 3, who actually perform all actions together, only at the end of rescuer № 2 there is a small time gap, i.e. rescuer № 3 will have the greatest time delay. Scientifically substantiated standards for the operational deployment of fire and rescue vehicle numbers with an air compressor installation were developed, in which the expert assessment method was used to determine the weighted average estimates of the corresponding shares of possible results. The experts were teachers of the National University of Civil Defense of Ukraine and employees of the operational coordination center of the Main Directorate of the State Emergency Service in the Kharkiv region. They were asked to provide the corresponding share of all possible results, assigned, respectively (as is currently accepted in the operational and rescue services), to the assessment of "excellent", "good", "satisfactory" or "unsatisfactory". In order to reduce the influence of incompetent experts on the final assessment, the method of determining the average expert assessment was used, which is based on the weighted average value of the assessments provided by the experts. The proposed operational deployment standards with the installation of an air blower both in pro-tective clothing and additionally in body armor were tested.
