Evaluation of the operation and maintenance of bulk tanks on the Tatra 815 chassis of Fire and Rescue Service brigades in the South-Moravian Region

Abstract

This paper is focused on the evaluation of data of the operation of tanker truck syringes designed for high-volume extinguish on TATRA chassis for the period 2010 - 2014, which are placed at the Fire and Rescue Service brigades in the South-Moravian Region. At the beginning of the analysis, statistical data on intervention activities focusing on the frequency of utilization of vehicles in response and other activities were evaluated. Then, analyses of kilometric mileage and hour meter reading of machine work in a stand were carried out. These analyses characterize the traffi c load. Subsequently, selected operating characteristics are calculated and in the end, the results are compared with previous research of the fi rst-response tanks.
