The master’s thesis examines the systematisation and organisation of fire stations and firefighting equipment within the broader context of the working and spatial environment. In the field of firefighting, clearly defined guidelines and standards have been established for firefighting equipment, vehicles, and training, whereas the design of fire stations remains largely inconsistent. The absence of comprehensive planning guidelines often results in diverse spatial solutions that are not always adapted to actual user needs. This may lead to over- or undersized facilities, as well as suboptimal spatial layouts and equipment arrangements.
Firefighting equipment requires appropriate storage, regular maintenance, and proper care, as cleanliness and effective organisation are essential for its reliable use and long service life. In practice, these conditions are often difficult to achieve due to spatial limitations or inadequate internal organisation of fire stations, which may affect equipment accessibility and the overall efficiency of operations. Limited space or an unsuitable arrangement of elements frequently prevents a clear separation of functions and the systematic organisation of equipment.
The master’s thesis examines the relationships between space, equipment, and patterns of use, addressing the organisation and systematisation of fire stations from the perspectives of functionality and accessibility. It considers spatial organisation as an integrated whole in which the arrangement of spaces and equipment directly influences the quality of working processes. The research focuses on opportunities to improve organisational and spatial approaches that contribute to a more clearly structured, accessible, and efficient working environment within fire stations.
