The article examines the experience of using correlation analysis to assess the nature of the relationships between various parameters of the organization and activities of fire and rescue garrisons in Russia. The analysis of absolute and relative parameters is carried out. The influence of the size of the service areas of fire departments on other response parameters, as well as the negative impact of population density and the number of fires on the speed of fire trucks is shown. The paper proposes a method for calculating the built-up area of settlements and a method for calculating the coefficient of non-straightness of the street and road network along arbitrary routes.
