During their rescue activities, the Fire and Rescue services and the rescuers themselves also use aviation technology, which has become an integral part of rescue activities. Aviation technology is used for rapid transport, the search for people, the rapid overcoming of inaccessible terrain, and finally for the transport of fire extinguishers to the fire site. Such fires, where aircraft are often used for liquidation, include forest fires. The statistics, which are processed annually in Slovakia, tell us that forest fires are constantly there, and, in addition, their number is growing every year and thus causes significant material and environmental damage. In the article, we will also compare the effectiveness of aviation technology in maneuvering and applying an extinguishing agent to a fire site on a selected example.
