According to the law, Fire and Rescue Service is obliged to present information related to its activities annually through statistical yearbooks of the Ministry of the Interior of the Slovak Republic. The total number of fire brigade outgoings in 2017 was 33672. In Slovakia, we have used five classes of outgoings. Classification of outgoings on technical assistance, fire, traffic accidents, and splitting of dangerous substance is provided. The study of outgoings of fire service units has been realized in the municipalities of the Slovak Republic. Numerical studies have shown how the number of fire unit outgoings and times of their durations have changed in different regions, different months and different days.
