Contemporary civilization is invariably accompanied by disasters, industrial accidents, infectious diseases and increasingly frequent terrorist attacks. Despite the use of ever more sophisticated safeguards accompanying the development of civilization and modern branches of the economy, these phenomena will inevitably keep occurring. The possibility of sudden unforeseen incidents caused by the impact of chemical, biological, or radiological factors requires constant readiness of units of the State Fire Service. The work analyses the decontamination process used in Germany, North America and Poland. This enabled the development of proposals for organizing the decontamination process applied to personal protective equipment, constituting a combination of selected solutions, which allows for the implementation of systemic changes in the State Fire Service.

The article presents the issue of wastewater circulation after firefighting activities executed by fire brigades and the lack of research on the composition of water entering the city sewage system as well as the potential impact on the environment to which it is disposed of. It was noted that fire brigades use biodegradable foam agents during typical fire-fighting operations, both in sewage treatment plants and in the natural environment, but the main problem is the selection of fire-fighting techniques and extinguishing agents and the subsequent consequences in the environment. Consideration was given to deciding whether to use water, which dissolves flammable substances, foam containing surfactants, or completely refraining from extinguishing due to the possibility of sewage entering the surrounding waters. To this end, it outlines the course of fires where firefighting operations have resulted in the contamination of watercourses and bodies of water, contamination of the ground or long-term emission of toxic substances into the atmosphere. Due to the lack of guidelines for dealing with fire-water in urban conditions, attention was paid to absolute protection of watercourses and water bodies against the infiltration of postfire sewage in its original form and the use of mechanical dams and embankments to stop them at the scene of the incident. Attention was also drawn to the proper operation of dosing equipment and the environmental burden caused by using foam concentrates in higher concentrations than recommended by the manufacturer was presented.
