Conclusions

Recommendations
• The Fire and Rescue Department must integrate GIS as software for fire
risk management.
• Theoretically identified unprotected areas could be solved by providing
new hydrants installation but hydrant location determination requires more
specific data and information evaluation.
• In order to avoid additional costs and save expenses for future fire
hydrants installation, it is important to create complex GIS system which
could be implemented with other department’s data and could help to
eliminate mistakes and failures.
• Learning from EU countries experience it is recommended to base fire risk
management not only on legal and institutional policies but also on
organisations, agencies, and communities which shall also be involved in
the sustainable development of fire safety.
