Computational Model of Successful Mobilization of Voluntary Firefighters ()
ABSTRACT
Reliability, the part of successful
convocations of a voluntary fire brigade, is
one of the decisive factors of successfulness and quality of a voluntary fire
brigade. The unplanned selection and education of firemen show that the unit is
not reliable enough. The presented mathematical model serves as a numerical
evaluation of reliability. It helps to analyze the causes of
eventual weak points and to make effective steps toward their improvement. This
method is the first step to a large analysis of quality and reliability of a
voluntary fire brigade. The calculations represent a mathematical model that is
not fully equivalent to the real situation, but it depicts well enough and is
much cheaper to find and test optimal solutions. It is also relatively easy to
test the reliability of each voluntary fire brigade (VFB).
