At any moment somewhere on Earth, forest fires are raging. Fire is a natural force, and we have learned the hard way that if we try to contain it, the situation will be worse. The problem is that for the last hundred years or so, we have adopted a worldview to extinguish any fire immediately. This led to a cumulative effect, with both plant material and the ecosystem beginning to increase. Looking at fire globally, it is like reverse photosynthesis, releasing enormous energy in the form of light and heat, and we often forget how important fires are for many forest ecosystems. Fires are part of the earth's natural cycle of destruction and renewal, and the relentless life-changing agents of change. It's not a fire problem for us, it's that we live in the places where there is the greatest chance of fire. In our country, where the Mediterranean climate is represented, there is a constant probability of constant occurrence of forest fires. We are witnessing that fires have been happening, that they are happening, but that they will surely continue to occur in the near future for the reason that there should be them in such areas, all directed by nature. It is up to us to do everything we can to contain them. Changing, first of all, the climatic conditions and then the vegetation that is present in the Republic of Croatia, in recent years we have witnessed catastrophic fires of vegetation, some of which almost touched the urban parts of big cities and thus endangered the inhabitants and their goods. This type of fire is the subject of this paper and examines how the profession seeks but also provides answers, through the synergy of air forces, ground forces, and equipment designed for that type of fire. This paper also provides an answer as the current fleet of firefighting forces meets desired results and how to prepare this force for future threats that will surely be even more demanding and challenging.
