Abstract
Introduction. Extinguishing fires in remote areas of rural areas of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is carried out not only by the State Fire Service, but also by volunteer fire brigades. The most important problem in extinguishing fires is the lack of fire stations in all rural settlements, which negatively affects the timely extinguishing of the fire. The problem that firefighters face when extinguishing is also considered. This is a shortage of water in the winter period of the year. Goals and objectives. The purpose of this article is to systematize the work of volunteer fire brigades (DPD), to give a clear idea of the significance of this formation. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: firstly, to describe the work and tasks of the organization of a volunteer fire brigade, and secondly, to assess the availability of knowledge, skills, and weapons with which the DPD can effectively affect the extinguishing of a fire. Methods. Volunteer fire brigades in the Far North with a shortage of water can use a method of mechanical impact on flames. Mechanical impact is understood as procedures aimed at limiting the spread and extinguishing a fire. Results and its discussion. To date, the formation of volunteer fire brigades in the regions of the Far North is developing, they focus on preventive measures to protect against fires, on rapid response and elimination of fire. Conclusions. A volunteer fire brigade (DPD) for settlements where there is no fire station is a rescue from fires and fires. The DPD can either independently participate in extinguishing a fire, or help the state fire service in extinguishing it. The DPD performs the same functions and tasks as the state fire service. The DPD has the means to cope with small fires. To extinguish large fires, DPD requires funding, which can be provided by entrepreneurs of the village, local residents, as well as the municipality of the district. Keywords: fires, volunteer fire brigade, water shortage, method of extinguishing fire
