Abstract

Floods are one of the most frequent elemental disasters and for fire service they represent a huge challenge by number of incidents, time and the wide variety of flood incidents. Intervals between floods are getting smaller and with every new flood, firefighters are facing new situations. By advancing the techniques and technologies of intervention, the firefighters are becoming more and more challenging for this purpose, equipped with new equipment and being trained to successfully intervene in floods. With this article, we are trying to approach possible flood interventions, although aware that we are not able to predict and describe all possible flood situations.
