Three event types were identified: avian influenza, African swine fever, and American foulbrood. Intervention duration differed significantly between voivodeships, with the longest mean ranks observed in Podkarpackie and Zachodniopomorskie and the shortest in \u015awi\u0119tokrzyskie and Mazowieckie. The largest pairwise difference was found between \u015awi\u0119tokrzyskie and Zachodniopomorskie.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The analyzed records indicate that firefighter involvement in these events was primarily operational and supportive in nature. The most relevant findings were regional differences in intervention duration and greater vehicle deployment in avian influenza events, likely reflecting terrain conditions and the spatial scale of search activities. These data may support operational planning, but they do not allow conclusions about infectious or psychological health outcomes among firefighters.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/15303667261452593","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,27]],"date-time":"2026-05-27T15:21:02Z","timestamp":1779895262000},"page":"534-542","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Firefighter Involvement in Animal Disease Response in Poland: A Nationwide Descriptive Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8255-7608","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u0141ukasz","family":"Dudzi\u0144ski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Rescue, Medical University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcin","family":"Weiner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural Science, John Paul II University in Biala Podlaska, Biala Podlaska, Poland."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julia","family":"Grochowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural Science, John Paul II University in Biala Podlaska, Biala Podlaska, Poland."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tomasz","family":"Kubiak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, Poznan Medical Academy of Applied Sciences Mieszko I, Poznan, Poland."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Ga\u0142\u0105zkowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Rescue, Medical University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u0141ukasz","family":"Czy\u017cewski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geriatric Nursing, Medical University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","unstructured":"Act. 1991.
