Sažetak
Often in the field meet firefighters to firefighting experience, primarily as a vocation, not a job. In particular, this applies to volunteer firefighters. Often are cases that these firefighters care about the functioning of the fire more than a responsible person (mayors and mayors), so they all organizational and financial problems of fire protection experience on a personal level. Regardless of their will, because of objective and subjective circumstances it is not possible to establish such a fire protection system that would satisfy the minimum standards in terms of fire protection of people and property in the local government.
Condition of the apparent effectiveness of the system is maintained until a fire breaks out, especially when it comes to fire a larger scale or in the case of multiple fires. Firefighters are then called to account or due to the large number of fires (fires of open space) or due to serious damage. Nobody asks whether everyone in the chain of responsibility to do all the fire protection system was effective. Or more importantly, whether they make at least a statutory obligation to allow firefighters to operate effectively in interventions.
A number of local governments carry out their own, defined by law, the obligations in respect of funding the fire service. Problems arise in those local governments where the fiscal capacity of small and then the percentages are based on which funds were allocated for the fire a little mean. Therefore, you should do two things. First, lay down new sources of funding for fire protection, and thus for the fire brigade. Second, to prescribe a redistribution of funds to a higher level of fire service organization could affect the improvement of fire protection systems in underdeveloped local government units. Time to achieve uniform distribution of the degree of fire protection throughout the all Republic of Croatia.
