Firewater Management and Retention Ponds
Environmental impact of fires

The management of firefighting water is a major environmental challenge in firefighting. The vast volumes of water used during rescue operations, combined with the presence of chemicals and pollutants from burned materials, make this wastewater a particularly critical source of contamination. Without appropriate measures, this water can cause severe pollution of waterways, soil, and groundwater, with immediate and long-lasting ecotoxic consequences.
