Modern constitution obtains its justice by protecting the people's basic legal rights. The constitutional rights can be more than a defensive measure against government power by modern viewpoints. The government has to create an atmosphere which the rights are not violated. The Constitution provides that the government has to make efforts to prevent disaster and protect the people from danger in Clause 34, Art. 6. The government has an obligation to protect the people's basic legal rights of life, health and property from fire damages, and those rights are gathering strength under a socialist state principle as fundamental ideology of modern societies. The present fire inspection system gains a point constitutionally but it still needs to be certified as the most suitable system. This article examines the solution to operate fire inspection system efficiently, given the reality of present system operation. It is necessary to improve the system by integrating the present fire inspection with the self fire inspection. Government needs to re-modification the Fire inspections system for prevent and promote (resolve) the problem which government officer (ex fire fighter) can make a irregularities and corruption as do it oneself.

Cronobacter spp. (Enterobacter sakazakii) is known to be highly resistant to dry conditions than any other Enterobacteriaeae. In this study, one hundred and ten Korean Cronobacter isolates were characterized to find out their survival characteristics under conditions of desiccation and humidity. Thirty percentage strains of the isolates showed high resistance to desiccation exposed on the metal surface for eight hours by half survival of the initial number, whileas less than 10% strains showed dry sensitivity by less one log scale survival among seven log scales. Finally, more than 90% of the strains consisted of dry-resistant and dry-intermediate groups. The same tendencies were evident in a 15-day exposure. Dry-resistant and intermediate strain groups showed 3 log scale survival among 5 log initial numbers in the powdered infant formula for 30 days, which were more resistant than on the above metal surface exposed. So, almost the isolate strains showed high resistance to dry condition. Dry-resistant and intermediate groups exposed on the metal surface formed a biofilm at the beginning, and the dry-sensitive group showed biofilm formation mainly only after a 7-day exposure. However, without a time difference in formation of biofilm, the dry-resistant and sensitive isolates seemed to similar biofilm formation activity. Most of the isolates showed very low survival at 75% relative humidity in 48 hours; however, they showed high resistance by 60% survival at 40% relative humidity. The Cronobacter isolates showed high resistance to desiccation on the metal surface and in the powdered infant formula, but low survival at high relative humidity. Therefore, high humidity may be a control method for Cronobacter in food processing environments.
