Population Aging and Volunteering in Fire Service in the Pardubice Region: A Case Study on Impact on Public Finance
Original language description
Both fire protection and fire service are considered as traditional state functions under public interest. Besides, fire service is considered to be economic good provided not only by state, public sectors and municipalities or communities but by career and volunteering fire fighters as well. In general, volunteers have substantial significance for cost of fire service in the Czech Republic due to fact that they participate in fire service as altruists and often without any claim on remuneration. The Czech Republic has come to the phase of population aging; thus there is an expectation of declining of volunteering in fire service due to overaged fire service units not able to meet requirements for service as fight fighters. In such a case, the unit would be substituted by fire fighters serving as state employees. This article, as a case study for the Pardubice region, deals with an impact of population aging on public finance when volunteering fire fighters would be substituted by Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic. The study proved that impact of population aging on public finance in the area of fire protection would be expected as really tiny.
