This paper was dealing with the change of academic meaning for activities of volunteer firefighter by enforcement of "Act on Volunteer Fire Brigade Establishment & Operation". For that, we checked the references including definition, origin, history, activities, and characteristics of volunteer firefighter. In addition, we confirmed the differentiating activity characteristics between the volunteer firefighter and the general volunteer. In result, the characteristics of the volunteer firefighter activities did not have with the spontaneity of the general volunteer activities due to Article 3 (appointment of volunteer firefighter), Article 4 (dismissal of volunteer firefighter), and Article 9 (working conditions of volunteer firefighter, etc) of "Act on Volunteer Fire Brigade Establishment & Operation". Finally, we could not interpret that the characteristics of the activities of volunteer firefither is same with the general volunteer activities. The result in this paper is expected to serve as a basis for the research of the volunteer fire department in Korea.

일본은 약 200만 명이었던 지역방재의 중핵적 존재인 의용소방대원의 수가 점점 감소하여 현재는 88만 명 수준으로 감소하여 이대로 가면 지역 방재체제에 지장을 초래할 우려까지 있고, 사회경제의 발전에 따라 산업구조와 취업구조가 크게 변화하여 의용소방대원의 약 70%가 피고용자(봉급생활자)인 상황이다. 따라서 의용소방대를 활성화하기 위해서는 봉급생활자가 의용소방대에 들어오기 쉽고 활동하기 쉬운 환경을 만들 필요가 있으며, 사업체의 의용소방대활동에 대한 이해와 협력이 절실히 필요하다. 일본 소방청은 의용소방대원을 고용한 사업체의 의용소방대활동에 대한 이해와 협력을 얻기 위해서 2006년도부터 의용소방대 활동에 협력하고 있는 사업체에 대해 "의용소방대 협력사업체 표시제도"를 도입하여 운영하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 제도 도입배경, 마크(표시증)교부 기준 등 운영실태에 대해 분석하여 소개한다.

현재 소방관들은 주로 무전기로 다른 소방관이나 중앙 지휘관과 통신을 하고, 필요 정보를 취득 혹은 공유 하면서 소방 활동을 수행 하고 있다. 소방 현장에서는 여러 가지 위험이 존재 하고 이를 극복하기 위해서 많은 정보를 필요로 할 때가 많지만, 이를 미리 모두 숙지 하고 있거나, 동적으로 변화 하는 상황을 무전기를 통하여 취득하고 이해 하기는 쉽지 않다. 이러한 어려운 점을 해소 하기 위하여 웨어러블 컴퓨터를 이용한다면 소방 활동을 도울 수 있을 것이며, 이에 적합한 웨어러블 인터페이스가 디자인 되어야 한다. 이 논문에서는 시나리오에 기반 한 인터액션 모델링, 화재 현장 및 소방 상황에서의 인간공학적 제한 조건, 사용자 설문조사, 그리고 인터페이스 패턴을 기반으로 소방 활동을 효과적으로 도울 수 있는 인터페이스 디자인 및 개발에 대하여 설명하고자 한다.

전체적으로 소방관의 현장대응활동 중 매년 안전사고가 급증하고 있는 현실을 고려할 때 국립방재연구소가 안행부 소속의 독립연구기관로 운영되듯 소방관의 실질적인 화재안전활동과 현장 초기진화를 위한 소방전문연구기관의 설립이 필요하고, 소속 또한 중앙소방학교내 센터가 아닌 소방방재청 산하 국립소방과학연구원의 독립기관으로 설립이 필요함과 동시 그 타당성을 실증해주었다.

Fires in tunnels are an international concern and fatal accidental fires in tunnels seem to occur on annual. They have the potential to become much worse int the future as more and longer tunnels are constructed and as traffic densities increase. This is a serious problem. The main purpose of this study is to develop operational procedures for fire brigades in road tunnel fires. This study discussed the past to see what can be learned from the incidents that have already done in tunnels. 73 cases of road tunnel fires domestic and outside of Korea were investigated and classified into 4 incident categories. Among them, 4 tunnel fires are highlighted, focusing on the activities of fire brigades and operation. Regarding the establishment of the strategies for fire fighting, 6 kinds of fire scenario curves have been deducted with regard to the relation between intervention time and heat release rate. It made the choice from the defensive or aggressive fire fighting activities depending on two criteria i.e. response limit and maximum response time. Road Tunnel Classification models can be useful when a fire brigade evaluates fire risk levels in the tunnels under its jurisdiction from the firefighting point of view and sets up preventive measures.

When those who have caused a fire have no ability to compensate fire victims, the victims tend to charge fire agencies for state compensation to receive damage relief. This study analyzed two state compensation cases related to fires. The findings suggest that if there is a causal relationship between fire damage and mistakes committed by fire officials that are associated with fire prevention or special fire inspections, courts usually decide that fire agencies should compensate fire victims. Despite the introduction of a new article in the Framework Act on Fire-Fighting Services on December 26, 2017, titled "Exemption from Responsibility for Fire-Fighting Activities", exemptions are only available if inevitability of the activity has been proven. However, unlike rescue or first aid activity, inevitability is difficult to prove when it comes to fire inspection activity. Therefore, it is expected that state compensation suits related to fires will not decrease.

The system of The Volunteer Fire Brigade is the Civil autonomic one which was set up from The Chosun Dynasty and has been active. Having suffered from several dificulties from Japanese control in the Chosun Dynasty, The Volunteer Fire Brigade was established by the enactment 1958 Fire Law and we have had it up to this time. The Volunteer Fire brigade played an important role in the period of the past Fire fighting personnel and equipment which we did not have. It has carried out the assistance of the Fire extinction, the early extinction of a fire in the rural region, the extinction of the forest fire, and lots of social volunteering actions etc. but, today's Fire fighting system has made the surprising developments, such as the improvement of national economic power, the increase of knowledge about the safety of the people, the openness of The Fire Fighting Department of Korea. I will try to check out the role of The Volunteer Fire Brigade which filled up the lacking part the fire fighting in the past and make the measures which can activate in these days, looking for the new field of the movement.

In addition to aging social problem, the problem of older age structure ratio in the fire service organization playing the leading role of the disaster response activities is also expected to be this serious situation. In the case of Seoul fire fighting organization, it is expected that the ratio of over the age 50 reaches 31% or 40% between from 10 to 15 years later from now on, but this will be a serious problem in the fire fighting personnel needing a healthy body and physical strength in the disaster situation unlike the civil servants of general staff. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to take measures that can adapt to a new disaster environment of Increasing proportion of the elderly population by presenting the criteria of age limit of fire fighting field activities to analyze the relevance of the ability to perform on-site activities and age of Seoul fire civil servants, by using three analysis criteria.

There are numbers of unpredictable risk factors in the disaster scenes such as fire, explosion and fail to early life-saving or holding the flames which can lead to massive damage. In particular, fire-fighters who arrive on the scene within 5 minutes after dispatching, have a limitation to get aware to the situation of scene fully, because of immediate deploy to disaster scene with limited information. This situation may lead to disturbance that fire-fighters perform effective fire-fighting activities, to put fire-fighter's life at risk by misjudge the situation. Previous domestic and International studies focused vulnerability for spatial area or features which can damage to life and property in the event of anticipated. In this study, we have been developed fire-fighting vulnerable zone model that can analyze comprehensively hindrance factors for fire-fighting activities targeting whole life cycle of fire-fighting activities from dispatch to fire suppression or life-saving. In addition, we have been given shape to finality and applicability for our model by defining the new concept of fire-fighting vulnerable zone which can be distinguished from the concept of fire vulnerable area in previous studies. The results of this study can be used to analysis fire-fighting vulnerable zone type analysis, establish fire-fighting policies and improve the performance of decision-making process.
