As a basis for modeling the influence of innovative factors on the efficiency of fire suppression, a model of insurance coverage for fire departments, taking into account the insurance burden on groups of the population of the Russian Federation, was adopted. In calculations and estimates, official data from fire statistics and Rosstat were used.
