Use of unmanned flying systems in activities of voluntary fire service for safety of local community

Abstract
Unmanned systems (marine, airborne and land-based) represent a rapidly growing market. They find more and more applications and are already used not only in the military but also in activities related to a broadly defined security. The purpose of this paper is to indicate areas of operation of unmanned UAS flying systems in the operations of the Voluntary Fire Services on the example of the unit in Charzykowy. The paper defines the strengths and weaknesses of using such systems in activities carried out in the difficult forested area of the Tuchola Forest, crossed by numerous lakes and rivers. A special role is played here by the description of actions carried out in response to the occurrence of extreme weather phenomena in Pomerania in August 2017. As shown by the research carried out, unmanned aircrafts can be successfully used in the structures of services involved in the estimation and removal of the effects of natural disasters and a number of other missions.
