Abstract
This paper evaluates the statistics for dispatching a fire engine from the Cheb station (Fire Rescue Service of the Karlovy Vary) for the period reviewed from 1 March 2017 to 31 December 2021. The paper analyses emergency statistics of fire engine departures from the Cheb station in the monitored period. The paper focuses on the distance travelled and the number of responses about time. The analysis was performed within a specific timeframe throughout the day and in individual months, depending on the number of kilometers travelled to the emergency location. The machinery department can use the listed results of the departure statistics analysis for the fire engine utilisation rate from the Cheb station. They can also determine the need and subsequent replacement of fire protection equipment in the fire engine. Last but not least, the results of this paper can also be used for prevention and informative purposes regarding departure statistics in different periods.

Keywords
Fire engine, Emergency, Distance travelled, Time period.
