The commentary takes up the issue of fire protection as part of the state’s internal security management. Taking safety management as a systemic process, the author points out the need not only to create law, or to increase criminal sanctions for non-compliance with fire regulations, but also to establish a task-oriented institutional cooperation, with the involvement of people who are users of public facilities. Presenting the determinants referring to the need to increase education for safety and the binding of compulsory insurance of buildings with the actual fire safety status, the author applies the concept of a systemic, rather than focused safety management. The latter’s efficiency and effectiveness is definitely lower and more costly.
