Abstract
In the framework of organizational strategy in the event of a fire disaster, it is impossible, in our opinion, to proceed without a defined operative centre capable of resolving the emergency situation in the disaster area itself. This need, together with experiences reported in the literature (Dioguardi et al., 1988, 1989), prompted us to define the organization and establishment of a field hospital. This structure is necessary for the administration of emergency treatment appropriate to the particular pathology, especially considering all the logistical difficulties following such an event, not the least of which is the problem of relief and transport of casualties.
