Recently, it is imperatively necessary to expand fire services funds for providing high quality of fire services. This study is to propose the plan of funds expansion for fire services to cope with a hefty increase of fire services demands in a local autonomous entity era. As alternatives of funds expansion, the study suggests the increase of fire public facilities tax rate and extracting new funds by establishing local government firms such as fire hospitals and fire repair firms. In addition, the study also proposes establishing a new common fire facilities tax, imposing fire services tax on gas tax, imposing public facilities tax on electricity tax, and transferring fire services expense to a local autonomous entity.

Because the fire service demands are increasing and forms are diversified, the first thing you must do is to make up the fire service budget to keep fire service power sufficiently. Such budget allocation leads to supply enough fire service people want and results in social welfare satisfaction. If the budget of fire service is not enough to meet with its power, sufficient security of the fire fighters would be impossible. Also, when the urgent disasters occur, the government cannot cope with them effectively. In fact, loss of many lives and properties took place in some cities and kuns because of that. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of fire service budget for fire service force. To do this, this study reviews fire service budget, fire service force. And this study sets up three hypotheses based on the theoretical backgrounds and the past research. The statistical method used for the verification of hypotheses is multiple regression analysis. The analysis showed that fire service budget per head variable was positive significant, fire service budget ratio variable was not significant. Also, public facilities tax variable was negative significant. Therefore, the analysis showed that public facilities tax couldn't fill the role as a earmarked tax.

This study presents problems and improvement measures for the supply rate of single-alarm detector and fire extinguisher installed in households. Statistics from the NFDS show that 18 percent of all fires and 45 percent of deaths occurred in residential buildings over the past eight years. It was less than 60% that households be equipped rate of basic fire-fighting systems by 2019. In this study, I analyzed the law and statistics of fire to devise a method for fire safety. I proposed that the basic fire-fighting systems is be equipped in households. Like this : First, a free distribution policy for the over 60 years of age and Areas where is fire engine difficult to enter. Second, the policy of adopting safety pay in disaster. Third, the policy of expanding supply through the revision of the Licensed Real Estate Agents Act. Fourth, the policy of self-regulating installation by safety education and set up a data base system. Fifth make a law of household's National Fire Safety Standards.
