Course content
1. Introduction to fire protection - legal and technical regulations. 2. Combustion chemistry - combustion process, characteristics of combustibles, types of flames, autoignition process, properties of combustion products. Extinguishing media - distribution, effect. 3. Combustion, phases of fire, spread of fire in the building, behavior of combustion products. 4. Explosives - characteristics and distribution, phenomena accompanying the explosion, the effects of the explosion on the environment, legislation for the loading and storage of explosives. 5. Explosion prevention - storage of substances, environmental impact, reduction of the possibility of explosion. 6. Handling of hazardous chemical substances according to the Public Health Protection Act. 7. Risk analysis in connection with fire, explosion and hazardous substances. Examples of previous events from the Czech Republic and abroad. 8. Fire safety equipment - meaning, division. 9. Electrical fire alarm. 10. Stable fire extinguishing equipment. 11. Equipment for heat and smoke removal. 12. Links of EPS to security systems. 13. Fire technical properties of building structures and building materials. 14. Securing buildings in terms of fire safety - production and non-production facilities.

learning outcomes
The student will be acquainted and will learn the necessary legal and technical regulations, physical and chemical principles of the combustion and explosion process and regulations for the handling of hazardous substances. Furthermore, the student will expand their knowledge of risk analysis with a focus on events involving fire, explosion or hazardous substances. They will have knowledge of fire safety equipment (electric fire alarm, stable fire extinguishing equipment and equipment for heat and smoke removal) and their links to safety systems. Topics focused on the properties of building structures and building materials and the provision of production and non-production facilities in terms of fire safety will be further discussed.
