Abstract
On international level we can find various methods in the field of fire and disaster management interventions. Individual nations are trying to manage the activities related to firefighting, technical rescue, and, in some cases, healthcare on the basis of international trends but individually and at the highest quality possible. In this article, the author intends to present some syntheses of information that have already been published about the differences and some good practices of rescue organisations applying common, basically similar tools by taking an international outlook and studying various countries—including Hungary. The target countries are in Europe: Poland, Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy.
Highlights
In order to be able to make an accurate evaluation of national organisations, disaster management and firefighting forces carrying out primary response as well as their effectiveness and development potential from the viewpoint of fire protection operations responsible for the protection of the lives and properties of the population, it is necessary to take a look at similar activities of other nations. [1]
It is important to point out the fact that the protection and rescue of a citizen or a person passing through the country, the need to intervene in a fire or a road accident are based on almost the same grounds all over the world
With the help of the findings gained through research, this paper describes and compares fire protection activities—providing the basis of the research—at national and international level
Summary
In order to be able to make an accurate evaluation of national organisations, disaster management and firefighting forces carrying out primary response as well as their effectiveness and development potential from the viewpoint of fire protection operations responsible for the protection of the lives and properties of the population, it is necessary to take a look at similar activities of other nations. [1]. The differences can be spotted in the national development potentials, the adaptation of international best practices, in minor variations, mind sets and traditions. In order to discover all these development potentials and best practices and to examine their adaptability, the author has launched a research at the National University of Public Service, Budapest, Hungary under the Zrínyi Miklós Habilitation Program. Experiences from Different Countries for protection, which is followed by a description of circumstances and activities in other countries—relevant to the research. These countries are the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy. The international outlook will pay due attention to the difference that in several countries around the world fire service and disaster management provides, ambulance service, as well. Best practices and solutions which can be considered for adaptation are presented in the conclusion, at the end of the paper
