인도네시아 산불에 의한 연무는 동남아시아 인접한 국가들에 있어서 심각한 환경문제 중 하나이다. 국제적으로 심각한 문제를 야기하는 인도네시아의 산불은 건조기에 강수량이 적게 내리는 극심한 가뭄 조건에서 발생한다. 건조기 강수량을 모니터링 하는 것은 산불 발생 가능성을 예측하기 위해 중요하지만 산불을 사전에 예방하고 영향을 최소화하기에는 부족하다. 따라서 산불에 대한 선제적 사전예방을 위해서는 수개월의 선행예측 기간을 갖는 조기경보 시스템이 절실하다. 따라서 본 연구는 인도네시아 산불에 대한 선제적 대응을 위한 강수량 예측시스템을 개발하고 예측성을 평가하여 동남아시아 지역의 화재 연무 조기경보 시스템의 시제품(Prototype)을 개발하는데 있다. 강수량 예측을 위해서 APEC 기후센터의 계절예측정보의 활용 정도에 따라서 4가지 서로 다른 방법을 통합하여 사용하였다. 예측정보 기반의 방법들로는 대상지역의 강수량 예측을 위해서 대상 지역 상공의 계절예측 강수자료를 보정을 통해 직접적으로 사용하는 SBC (Simple Bias Correction) 방법과 대상 지역 상공의 강수 예측자료를 사용하는 대신에 지역 강수량과 높은 상관 관계를 보이는 다른 지역의 대리변수를 예측인자로 사용하는 MWR (Moving Window Regression) 방법이 있다. 또한 예측자료의 사용 없이 과거자료 기반의 기후지수(Climate Index) 중에서 지체시간을 고려하여 지역 강수량과 높은 상관관계를 갖는 경우 예측에 활용하는 관측자료 기반의 CIR (Climate Index Regression) 방법과 예측기반 MWR과 관측기반의 CIR 방법에서 선정된 예측인자를 동시에 활용하는 ITR (Integrated Time Regression) 방법이 사용되었다. 장기 강수량 예측은 보르네오 섬의 4개 지역에서 3개월 이하의 선행예측기간에 대하여 0.5 이상의 TCC (Temporal Correlation Coefficient)의 값을 보여 양호한 예측성능을 보였다. 예측된 강수량 자료는 위성기반 관측 강수량 및 관측 탄소 배출량 관계에서 결정된 강수량의 임계값과의 비교를 통해 산불발생 가능성으로 환산하였다. 개발된 조기경보 시스템은 산불 발생에 가장 취약한 해당지역의 건조기(8월~10월) 강수량을 4월부터 예측해 산불 연무에 대한 조기경보를 수행한다. 개발된 화재 연무조기경보 시스템은 지속적인 개선을 통해 현장 실효성을 높여 동남아국가 정부의 화재 및 산림관리자들에게 보급함으로써 동남아의 화재 연무로 인한 환경문제 해결에 기여할 수 있으리라 판단된다.

In this paper, a fire prevention system based on a broadband powerline communication (PLC) system is implemented and a demonstration experiment is carried out to prevent from or promptly dealing with possible fires within the nacelle of a wind turbine generator system (WTGS). For this purpose, an inductive coupler having satisfactory attenuation characteristic in the frequency region for high-speed PLC is also manufactured. It is confirmed that the implemented system can monitor the environmental change inside the nacelle in real time by transmitting various information obtained by the sensors such as temperature, flame, and smoke sensor installed in the nacelle and thermal image recorded by a thermal camera to the ground control center through the PLC system. Therefore, it is, considered that the implemented system will significantly improve the reliability of the fire monitoring and prevention system of the WTGS in conjunction with the existing safety system.

In modern society, the paradigm of terrorism is shifting to the form of soft targets focusing on an unspecified number of people, which is different from previous terrorist tendencies, and frequent attacks using chemicals. Therefore, this study analyzed the evacuation environment and characteristics, manual analysis of a terror response manual, and the domestic chemical management status of multi-use facilities, and proposed the following management measures for chemical terror prevention in multi-use facilities. First, a multi-use facility guideline for prompt onsite response is proposed. Second, an improvement plan is suggested through the analysis of the manual for counter terrorism. Third, integrated management is proposed through the selection of chemicals available for terrorism. Through this, it is expected that an additional improvement plan will be prepared for countermeasures against chemical terrorism in multi-use facilities. In the future, it will be necessary to analyze the problems through cases of foreign countries and take customized countermeasures.

Positive displacement pumps with high pressure and water capacity are used large fires in various high-rise buildings. This study provides information for a performance approval standard of fire pumps for fire trucks based on centrifugal pump standards enacted in 2012. An experiment was conducted with a positive displacement pump for three levels of performance from the approval standard (V-1, 2, and 3). The efficiency of the pump was included in the reference, which requires the approval of 65% performance, the same as a centrifugal pump. The water pressure is between 1.5 and 2.5 MPa, and the required flow rate was established as at least $0.31m^3/min$ and up to $3.0m^3/min$. A relief valve was added to adjust the shut-off pressure due to the structural characteristics of the positive displacement pump. A strainer was also installed to prevent damage to the inside of the pump due to foreign matter. However, the strainer includes a difference from the positive displacement pump to operate without a vacuum pump and the centrifugal pump. This is due to the additional approval standard portion of the positive displacement pump, which is expected to be selected for more variety of fire-fighting equipment and proactive responses to fire suppression in a high-rise buildings and large fires. In conclusion, this approval standard was enacted in January 2016.

Purpose: This study develops a risk prediction model that predicts the risk of a fire site by using initial information such as building information and reporter acquisition information, and supports effective mobilization of fire fighting resources and the establishment of damage minimization strategies for appropriate responses in the early stages of a disaster. Method: In order to identify the variables related to the fire damage scale on the fire statistics data, a correlation analysis between variables was performed using a machine learning algorithm to examine predictability, and a learning data set was constructed through preprocessing such as data standardization and discretization. Using this, we tested a plurality of machine learning algorithms, which are evaluated as having high prediction accuracy, and developed a risk prediction model applying the algorithm with the highest accuracy. Result: As a result of the machine learning algorithm performance test, the accuracy of the random forest algorithm was the highest, and it was confirmed that the accuracy of the intermediate value was relatively high for the risk class. Conclusion: The accuracy of the prediction model was limited due to the bias of the damage scale data in the fire statistics, and data refinement by matching data and supplementing the missing values was necessary to improve the predictive model performance.

In this study, a fire test was conducted to evaluate the fire performance of precast concrete (PC) slabs in an outdoor environment in response to the increase in fire incidents caused by the growth of warehouses. Prior to the field fire test, the tensile yield strength of the tendon at elevated temperatures was tested to analyze the mechanical properties. Also, by referring to previous studies, the thermal properties of tendon and the mechanical and thermal properties of concrete were investigated. A field fire test was conducted to analyze the structural and fire performance of two identical slabs with 50 and 150 mm bearing length. As the bearing length increased, deflection and horizontal displacement decreased. The fire test lasted for 200 minutes without the collapse of slabs, validating current codes. Based on the structural performance which maintained even with concrete spalling and rupture of some tendons, the bonded method is assumed to be practical in pre-tensioned PC slabs. The results of fire test are expected to be utilized in evaluating the fire performance of PC slabs in warehouses.

There have been various discussions to prevent violence to 119 emergency medical technicians, and the aims of the were as follow ; first, the staff dispatched to the scene should be reinforced so that the patients committing violent acts can be subdued. Secondly, self-defense devices should be provided to 119 emergency medical technicians so that they can use them in a dangerous situation and escape from it. And finally, 119 emergency medical technicians should be allowed to refuse to transport the patients when they or their guardians do violence to them in order to prevent potential violent cases. When countermeasures after violence is committed, it is important to secure evidence and determine strongly to bring charges to the offenders rather than agree to overlook the violence in order to correct them right. It is necessary to introduce a support program to help the victim technicians concentrate on their physical and mental treatment. Violence to 119 EMT should be punished so that the society will think it is natural to punish such offenders. In a safer environment, 119 EMT can perform their duties and it is very important to draw this consensus.

Based on the Statistical Yearbook of 119 Emergency Medical Services in 2017 (National Fire Agency, 2018) and Population Projection by Province: 2015~2045 (Statistics Korea, 2017), this study analyzed the effects of population changes, such as low fertility and aging on the use of ambulance services in the future. The population of Korea is expected to decline after peaking in 2031, but the number of elderly people aged over 70 is expected to continue to increase. The rates of emergency ambulance transport (REAT, the number of patients transferred per 1,000 inhabitants) are not changed significantly, compared to the recent trends, but the ambulance services for elderly over 70 years of age will increase exponentially. Therefore, the population changes due to low fertility and aging is accompanied by a quantitative and qualitative change in ambulance services, and from the long term perspectives, it is necessary to consider not only the effective response of ambulance services due to aging, but also the adjustment of existing jurisdictions due to population changes and the relocation of manpower and resources.
