The issue of the firefighting organization in rural areas is particularly important and topical today. More populated places in Latvia currently have no firefighting structural units therein located because the number of existing firefighting stations is insufficient. According to statistical data, no country in the world can afford to organize the presence of a professional fire and rescue service in every populated place. A solution to the problem can be the development of volunteer firefighter associations and volunteer firefighter brigades. The study is aimed to evaluate the creation of voluntary fire safety, firefighting and rescue service models at the municipal level in the Republic of Latvia, to find and propose efficient solutions for the creation of voluntary fire safety, firefighting and rescue service models.
