- Abstract
- [ABSTRACT IN ENGLIGH] The analysis of cost structure of an industrial fire department shows, that the total sum includes approximately 70-80% costs for the staff. To keep a powerful industrial fire service working, a direct decrease of costs for the staff, which means less men, cannot be done. At the same time it is possible to order the fire fighters of an industrial fire department of an enterprise, in which the number of calls decreased by safety orientated planning and working to do special safety operations for which they are trained and which hve to be done to increase general safety. Examples for these aims in this operational field especially are fire fighting, fire protection ambulance service and prevention of the environment.
