Abstract

In this study, the perceptions were surveyed fire risk and flash flames concerning the firefighters. The results were statistically evaluated according to age, experience and rank. More than 70% of the respondents answered that there is a possibility of unexpected flame exposure in the field of fire, but there was no recognition difference according to age, experience and rank. However, if there is an emergency situation in the field of fire, the survey on the ability to cope with crises showed that there is a difference in perception depending on the age, career, and rank of respondents. From these results, it is expected that strengthening simulation training of unexpected situation will be more urgently required in the future, and measures should be taken to minimize human accidents through improvement of standard operation procedures or supplement of fire suppression education according to unexpected situation.

본 연구에서는 화재현장에서 소방관들이 느끼는 위험성과 돌발화염에 대한 인식에 관하여 조사하고 연령, 경력 및 계급에 따른 인식의 차이를 통계적으로 비교 분석하였다. 화재현장에서 느끼는 위험성은 계급에 따라 인식의 차이가 있음을 확인하였으며, 화재현장에서의 돌발화염 노출 가능성에 대해서는 70% 이상의 응답자가 노출가능성이 높다고 응답하였으나 연령, 경력, 직급에 따른 인식 차이는 없는 것으로 조사되었다. 그러나 만약 화재현장에서 돌발화염을 겪게 될 경우의 위기대처 능력에 관한 조사에서는 응답자의 연령, 경력, 직급에 따라 인식의 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해 볼 때 향후 돌발화염의 모의 훈련 등의 강화가 보다 절실히 요구되며, 돌발화염에 따른 표준작전절차의 개선이나 화재진압교육의 보완을 통해 인명사고를 최소화하기 위한 방안들이 강구되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.
