Large forest fires are a serious danger and their occurrence and spread directly endangers people, buildings, material goods and the environment. Emergency situation during this type of fires can be declared when a large area of quality forest is affected, when there is an immediate danger to people, material goods or the environment. When declaring an emergency situation, emergency headquarters and expert operational teams are activated whose task is to manage the risk in forest fire protection and to take measures to reduce the risk and protect people and material goods. The functioning of the operations centers and the effective implementation of measures have a direct impact on the efficiency of extinguishing large forest fires and the degree of efficiency in protecting people, buildings and property. The main goal of this paper was the analysis of the work and significance of the headquarters for emergency situation as a risk management factor in forest fire protection. info:eu-repo/semantics/article
