The work shows that, as a rule, carefully developed extinguishing plans are used in extinguishing fires and conducting rescue operations. However, these plans are focused on the proper condition and the required amount of resources, but this is not always feasible in practice. At the same time, a partial failure of resources does not always lead to a complete failure of the extinguishing plan. The review of scientific research showed significant achievements in this direction of French, Russian and Kazakh scientists. The studies objective presented in the paper is to verify the feasibility and reliability of the theoretical studies results of the resource failure level effect on the goal achievement degree in fire extinguishing and rescue operations in relation to a specific protection object. The authors chose a sports complex in Astrakhan as an research object. To analyze previously performed theoretical studies, the authors calculated the risks of reducing the effectiveness of the developed operation with varying degrees of resource failure and they proposed measures to increase the facility security.
