Use of unmanned aviation by State Fire Service (PSP)

Abstract

This article describes its author’s State Fire Service Officer questionnaire results. The research topic is unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) usage during service in this formation. The State Fire Service’s statutory tasks are threats reconnaissance and rescue tasks during natural disasters. Some State Fire Service units are equipped with UAVs and use them to their full capabilities. Unmanned systems are increasingly employed by many institutions and the state. Unmanned aerial vehicles can be used in search and rescue operations, waste control, or environmental monitoring. The current possibilities of unmanned aviation are very extensive and often save lives. The numerous impacts of unmanned aviation during the COVID-19 pandemic began with their enormous potential and wide scope of operation. Recognition, effective monitoring and further development of UAVs have a significant impact on improving state security. Research results prove undoubtedly that UAV’s role in State Fire Service is beneficial, especially during missing person search and firefighting actions. Because of the cyclical character of crises in Poland, it is necessary to equip State Fire Service units with tools like UAVs to fight various threats.

Effect of mist nozzle supply pressure on the ammonia absorption process

“…In addition, accidents involving ammonia pose a major challenge for the emergency services because, due to the reactivity of ammonia with water, they require operations to be carried out in appropriate personal protective equipment, often in chemically resistant isolation clothing (Sukumar et al 2022). In Poland, more than 40 incidents with this substance have been recorded on average every year over the past decade (Banaczkowski 2022).…”
