Poplave su jedna od najučestalijih elementarnih nepogoda te vatrogasnoj službi predstavljaju veliki izazov po broju intervencija, vremenu trajanja i velikom raznolikošću intervencija vezanih uz poplavu. Intervali između poplava sve su manji, a sa svakom novom poplavom vatrogasci se susreću s novim situacijama. Napretkom tehnike i tehnologije intervencije postaju sve složenije i izazovnije te su u tu svrhu vatrogasci opremaju novom opremom i educiraju se za uspješno interveniranje u poplavama. Ovim radom nastojimo približiti moguće intervencije prilikom poplava, iako svjesni činjenice da nismo u mogućnosti predvidjeti i opisati sve moguće nastale situacije u poplavama.Floods are one of the most frequent elemental disasters and for fire service they represent a huge challenge by number of incidents, time and the wide variety of flood incidents. Intervals between floods are getting smaller and with every new flood, firefighters are facing new situations. By advancing the techniques and technologies of intervention, the firefighters are becoming more and more challenging for this purpose, equipped with new equipment and being trained to successfully intervene in floods. With this article, we are trying to approach possible flood interventions, although aware that we are not able to predict and describe all possible flood situations
