Abstract

This bachelor’s thesis deals with the comparison of selected aerial firefighting equipment used by the Fire Rescue Service of the Hradec Králové Region, specifically the aerial platform AP 45 Bronto Skylift and the aerial ladder AZ 40 Magirus. The introductory part characterizes the Hradec Králové Region and describes the territorial coverage provided by fire protection units. The thesis then presents an overview of aerial equipment used by the regional fire brigade and includes an analysis of statistical data related to its deployment during emergency incidents in the years 2023–2025. The following section focuses on the comparison of the basic tactical and technical parameters of both types of equipment. This comparison is complemented by practical measurements aimed at the time required for vehicle setup and manipulation of the boom. The thesis also describes practical experience gained from real emergency operations involving aerial equipment. In the final part, based on the analysis and measurements, the main advantages and disadvantages of both types of aerial equipment are identified, and recommendations for their appropriate deployment depending on the conditions of the intervention are formulated.
