Kras 2022 - največji požar v naravi v samostojni Sloveniji

Vidič, Črt (author), Schnabl, Simon (mentor)

Požar na Krasu 2022 je šokiral slovensko javnost in povzročil več kot 20 milijonov evrov materialne škode. Zaobjel je na tisoče hektarov, uničil na metrične tone unikatne kraške biomase. Gre za katastrofalen požar unikatnih razsežnosti. Tema tega diplomskega dela je zato premislek in analiza širjenja tega požara in razlogov za njegov povečan obseg. Pri analizi sem si pomagal z analizo priročnikov o gozdnih požarih in priročnikov o gorenju samem ter s poročili Gasilske zveze Slovenije o dotičnem požaru ter s poročilom in analizo požara, ki ga je pripravil vodja intervencije Simon Vendramin. Ugotovil sem, da je dejavnikov za obsežnost in intenzivnost požara več, a bistvena sta predvsem dva. Najprej so tu naravni dejavniki, torej sušno obdobje, visoke temperature in nizka vlažnost ter zelo gorljiva biomasa. Pomemben dejavnik pa je tudi človek oziroma njegovo pomanjkljivo vzdrževanje gozda in požarnih presek. Prikazal sem, zakaj se je ta požar lahko tako hitro širil, zakaj je bil tako zelo intenziven in uničujoč.

• Title: Karst 2022 - the largest wildfire in independent Slovenia

Abstract

The 2022 Karst fire shocked the Slovenian public and caused more than 20 million in material damage. It covered thousands of hectares, destroying metric tons of unique Karst biomass. It was a catastrophic fire of unique proportions. The purpose of this thesis was therefore to consider and analyze the spread of this fire and the reasons for its increased size. I used the analysis of forest fire manuals, manuals on burning itself, and reports from the Slovenian Firefighters' Association on the fire in question, as well as the report and analysis of the fire prepared by the head of the intervention, Simon Vendramin. I concluded that there were several factors for the extent and intensity of the fire, but two were particularly essential. First of all, there were natural factors, i.e., the dry period, high temperatures, low humidity, and highly flammable biomass. An important factor was also man, or his lack of maintenance of the forest and fire sections. I showed why this fire was able to spread so quickly and why it was so intense and destructive.
