Given the urgency of the issues of ensuring fire safety and the growth of modern challenges and threats, in Ukraine central and local executive authorities and self-government within their competence should persistently and purposefully organize on a regular basis the development and the introduction of effective organizational and scientific and technical measures addressing the reliable prevention of fires and their suppression, and ensuring the necessary level of fire safety of settlements and objects. Fire safety management as a kind of public administration has its own characteristics, which are caused by a specific object and subject in this sphere. The basis of the subjective structure is the forces and means of the system of fire protection, which carry out tasks for the prevention and extinguishing of fires, the salvation of people, property, etc. The specific object of management is, on the one hand, the life and health of people, their rights and freedoms, material and spiritual values, the normal activities of state institutions, on the other - the physical and legal persons who are obliged to adhere to the rules of fire safety, as well as subordinate units in relation to governing bodies. Thus, public fire safety management is a complex multidimensional and multidimensional process and depends on a clear regulatory definition of the powers of general and special actors that implement it. The conclusions made in the article can be used during theoretical substantiation and practical development to improve the efficiency of public administration in the field of fire safety.
