Abstract

Šumski požar je svako nekontrolirano, stihijsko kretanje vatre po šumskoj površini. To su požari
otvorenog prostora koji zbog površine koju zahvate i brzine širenja vrlo često zahtijevaju
intervencije većeg broja gasitelja, tehnike i opreme. Zbog redovne pojave velikih šumskih
požara, u ljetnim mjesecima, najviše duž Jadranske obale, civilne organizacije tražile su pomoć
Hrvatske vojske u gašenju velikih šumskih požara. Već nekoliko godina nakon Domovinskog
rata Hrvatska vojska formira „Namjenski organizirane snage“ koje su se sastojale od pripadnika
svih grana HV. Tako formirane snage HV-a već dugi niz godina su ključna sastavnica snaga za
borbu protiv velikih šumskih požara u RH. Unaprjeđujući sustav gašenja velikih šumskih požara
u periodu od 2002. do 2004. godine, Republika Hrvatska uspjela je uspostaviti jedan od
najorganiziranijih modela gašenja požara u ovom dijelu Europe. U prvom dijelu ovog rada vidjet
ćemo smještaj i karakteristike Republike Hrvatske kao i definiciju velikih šumskih požara. U
drugom dijelu rada analizirat ćemo pravnu regulativu za gašenje požara te ćemo u nastavku rada
kronološki definirati mjesto, ulogu i zadaće Oružanih snaga u samom sustavu.

Abstract (english)

A forest fire is any uncontrolled, spontaneous movement of fire on a forest surface. These are
open space fires which, due to the area they cover and the speed of spread, very often require the
intervention of a large number of firefighters, techniques and equipment. Due to the regular
occurrence of large forest fires, in the summer months, mostly along the Adriatic coast, civilian
organizations sought the help of the Croatian Armed Forces in extinguishing large forest fires.
For several years after the Homeland War, the Croatian Armed Forces formed a "Task forces"
consisting of members of all branches of the CAF. The CAF forces thus formed have been a key
component of the forces for the fight against large forest fires in the Republic of Croatia for
many years. Improving the system of extinguishing large forest fires in the period from 2002 to
2004, the Republic of Croatia managed to establish one of the most organized models of
extinguishing fires in this part of Europe. In the first part of this paper we will see the location
and characteristics of the Republic of Croatia as well as the definition of large forest fires. In the
second part of the paper, we will analyze the legal regulations for firefighting and in the
continuation of the paper we will chronologically define the place, role and tasks of the Armed
Forces in the system itself.
