Roček, Richard ; Stoupalová, Michaela (referee) ; Vávrová, Milada (advisor)
The target of my diploma thesis is evaluation of soil load by polybrominated diphenylethers. This is the soils, which were affected by fire and comparsion with load by soils, which were not affected by fire. In teoretical part available informations about BDE from various sources are processed. Target of practical part is find the optimal method for determination BDE, verification of her yield a determination of reals samples with using this method. In the end this thesis contains measured results, its interpetation in tables, graphes and evaluation of load by individual congeners. Key is comparsion load of soils, which were affected and which were not affected by fire. BDE are released during the fire and we can decide that soils which were caused by fire should be contaminated more, than soils, which were not caused by fire.

The Effect on Cause of Fire by Weather Conditions
PETRÁK, Martin
The aim of this work is to assess the possible effects of meteorological conditions on the causes of fires (The Effect of Weather Conditions on Causes of Fire). At present great emphasis is put on the investigation of the causes of fire while detecting human or technical failure or the combination of the two. Meteorological influences are given less importance but in many cases they are the cause of technical failures, although often indirect. Under normal operating conditions, the burning process occurs when three basic conditions meet: there are flammable substances, oxidation and initiatory temperature. The direct cause means the impact of the initial temperature and the indirect cause means affecting the flammable substance or material itself and oxidation. As for the direct effects of meteorological conditions, only fires caused by lightning strikes are evaluated as the direct cause of fires in the statistics of Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic. Based on technical literature and findings of fire examiners from Fire Rescue Service of South Bohemia, we can easily conclude that fires can easily be started by direct sunlight and relatively simple optical elements. Indirect impact of weather conditions means a wide range of specific conditions which may affect flammable substances or oxidizing agents. On one hand there are specific conditions that affect technical and technological ageing and depreciation, such as extreme temperatures, both in summer and winter, rainfall, wind, and so on. On the other hand, weather conditions also affect activities and behaviour of people during the year. The research was based on monitoring the direct and indirect influence of weather conditions on the occurrence of fires in South Bohemia between the years 2009 and 2013. The findings were used to identify possible fire prevention strategies and to make it easier to identify certain weather conditions which may lead to a fire.The facts used in this thesis are based on technical literature monitoring the issue of fire protection, specialized literature from meteorology and climatology of the Czech Republic, Fire Rescue Service statistics and output from real-life fires which mainly occurred on the territory of the South Bohemia region.

The Rescue Operations at Fire of the Watercraft on Water Surface Considering the Equipment of Fire Station on the South Bohemia.
BOUBAL, Vojtěch
At the beginning of thesis I want to describe few primary characteristics of the South Bohemia Region. It is a region with unique characteristics, which is frequently visited by domestic and foreign tourists. It is popular for its clean environment, historic monuments and especially for sport and recreational activities near water areas, which South Bohemia region has plenty of. Tourists are also frequently seeking recreational boating activities as ferry services for their travel and recration. The development of this economic phenomenon means more employment opportunities for the region, but it also increases chances of accidents and emergencies due to an unforseen accidents which can threaten the lives and wellbeing of the crew and the environment. Fire protection units should be fitted for an emergencies such as: drowning, drowned person search, icy water search and rescue and rescue in stream waters. The thesis is divided into the theoretical and the practical parts. The theoretical part deals with the definition of basic terms describing the issue of fire of the vessels as well as the tasks and procedures during fire fighting operations. It also presents a possible danger to rescuers exposed during operations such as rescue from the vessel burning on the water. There is a listing of the basic terms related to the complex vessel shape and the aquatic characteristics of the vessel. The practical part deals with the study of publications and current legislation, analysis of the Fire protection Units equipment and their readines for rescue work in case of a vessel fire. The enclosed data map illustrates a water area with ferry service in the South Bohemia Region and selected boarding platforms for fire protection units. It describes the use of container technology; modern and economical way of transportation used by the Fire and Rescue Service of South Bohemia Region since 2004. The proposed fire vessel, mounted on a standardize container frame and equipped with special container with stored technical equipment will be transported to the location of event by container carrier from FRS of South Bohemia Region. My theosis also describes the fire protection, fire equipment, personal protective equipment, equipment for working with hazardous substances, rescue tools, communication and portable emergency equipment which is normally used by the fire units of FRS of South Bohemia Region. To achieve the objective of the thesis and to answer the research questions, I did rely on the reference material obtained via search of the professional literary sources relevant to the Fire Fighting equipment and carrying out rescue work. To process the diploma thesis I did use the following: controlled interview with the station sergeants of various fire stations of FRS of South Bohemia, a collection of internal acts of the Ministry of Interior - General Directorate of Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic, a collection of internal acts - Regional Directorate of FRS of South Bohemia, Regulations of Mechanical services of FRS of CR and the methodological aids of the Ministry of Interior of CR. In conclusion I am describing the container of fire vessel and its use for rescue and fire-fighting work on water, as well as places where the terrain does not allow the use of mobile fire fighting equipment.
