Technical equipment of fire protection for the decontamination of people and technology.
POJETA, Antonín
This bachelor thesis is describing problems regarding technical equipment of fire-brigade units while decontaminating citizens and technology not in the state of war within the Czech Republic territory. Based on the national conditions this thesis is specializing in the civil area. It stresses out the need of the Czech fire-brigade units to be prepared for decontamination of citizens from dangerous substances in case of emergencies, accidents but also in case of a terrorist attack. This thesis is also taking into account the possibility of setting in the special Czech Army units. Theoretical part of the bachelor thesis is an introduction into the topic, defines historical events connected with the need of decontamination and in general people's comprehension of decontamination of not only themselves but also everything around them and surrounding them. This is obviously closely connected to contamination without which the decontamination would not have been possible. Decontamination chapter contains basic definitions, defining basic procedures including chemical substances used for decontamination with connection to detection and identification of substances, definition of operation and protection area. The description of forces and equipment used for decontamination is in the last chapter of the theoretical part of the thesis. It also mentions the laws of the concerned topic and location of the above mentioned units within the Czech Republic. Research problems and procedure of the thesis has been set up in the second, practical part. Its aim is the compare two different citizen and technology decontamination techniques which are used as a part of equipment of rescue units in the Czech Republic. It is also possible for those two techniques to participate on the same emergency event and based on one-generation distance between those two techniques the main question was perfectly clear from the beginning. Is the new technology used by the Czech fire-brigade units better than the old one, or modernised technology of the Czech Army Forces, considering it as the first solution to special emergency events within all given and defined aspects? Because there are limited technical information available and also not that many units used by the Czech fire-brigade certain types of decontamination lines had to be taken out of the study, such as SDO-A, SDO-1A and SDO-Z, therefor the outcome of this thesis cannot be interpreted unambiguously. Regarding the Czech Army Forces for the research part there was only type of decontamination of citizens used and presented. The rescue teams are currently using two decontamination lines which were compared within the comparison decontamination techniques study. The Integrated Rescue System in the Czech Republic is prepared for mass citizen-and-technology decontamination in both, material and educational, ways based on technical data given in the discussions present in the research part of the thesis. The concerned workers have also mentioned that there are specific trainings missing to crosscheck the whole technology within extreme conditions. We also came across the knowledge of a lot of problematic parts and incomplete systems, this information was given to us directly by the field-workers. The findings based on the research are presented at the end of the thesis as recommendations for practical use and improvement for current situation in case of mass-decontamination in the Czech Republic.
