"Rescue work by Integrated Rescue System Bodies on Lipno Water Reservoir"

The diploma thesis ?Life and property rescue by IRS bodies on Lipno water reservoir? is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. The former describes the separate bodies of the IRS (Integrated Rescue System) designed for operations on the reservoir, their roles and equipment, and also gives a list of their protective and rescue devices along with examples of their use. This part of the thesis also explores drowning, rescue techniques for drowning people, and the physiological changes in their bodies caused by the effects of cold water. It also deals with the formation of ice and its properties, with the recovery of sunken vehicles, as well as with accidents threatening rescuers working in and under water. The practical part presents the process of preparation and implementation of a tactical rescue exercise of IRS bodies aimed at the recovery of a passenger car trapped under broken ice on Lipno reservoir in the municipality of Frymburk. The principal outcomes of the research are given in the conclusion of the thesis
