THE ROLE OF FIRE-TECHNICAL EXPERTISE IN THE PREVENTION OF FOREST FIRES
Keywords:
forest, forest fires, forest structure, forest fire prevention, aspects of deliberate arson, fire-technical and criminal examination, expert, research, physical properties of treesAbstract
This article presents substantiated information on forest structure regulations, the development of systems for preventing potential forest fires, the application of international experience in forest fire prevention, the impacts of forest fires on humans, wildlife, and the natural environment, as well as proposals and recommendations for improving forest fire prevention measures. In addition, the article outlines the capabilities of fire-technical and criminal examinations in forest fire cases, the rules for appointing fire-technical and criminal examinations, the timeframes for conducting examinations, and the procedures for collecting physical evidence. At the same time, the article identifies key aspects of fires caused by deliberate arson, emphasizes the urgent issues of environmental protection and ecosystem restoration in forest fire prevention, and describes modern approaches to examining forest fire scenes, including the scientific analysis of collected physical evidence based on technical and academic sources, as well as the use of new types of field-based laboratory equipment that differ from traditional fire scene inspection methods. Scientifically substantiated data are presented in this regard.
