The field research took place in volunteer fire brigades of a municipality in the Sedlčany region. For the research I have used the questions which were used during interviews with representatives of the units. I have made a statistic, which is depicted in a graph. It follows how many times a unit of voluntary fire brigades of a municipality has interfered in a fire or in an extraordinary incident alone and how many times in cooperation with the Fire Brigade of the Central Bohemian Region, Sedlčany Fire Station. From the responses which were gained during the meetings arises that the cooperation between the professional firemen rescue body and a unit of volunteer fire brigades is frequent and has a very high quality in this region. The units mean considerable benefit for the region. |
