N2  - The basic requirement for fast localization and following extinguishing of a forest fire is securing enough supply of water through suitable transport of water. The basic methods are water shuttle operation through tanker trucks and long-distance transport of water by hose lines and portable pumps. Nowadays beside of this classic methods, different combined methods of transport are used and a modern method with a high-capacity pump. In the article I deal with each method of transport of water to forest fires and I am comparing them according to possibility of their deployment. The decisive parameters for deployment of single methods of transport are mentioned and based on the created models of transport of water, the optimal method is suggested for given conditions of environment.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
