This study verifies effects of the distribution of fire fighting equipment on the satisfaction of fire fight equipment among fire officers and the mediating effect of the reliability of fire fighting equipment on the relationship between the two variables in order to provide preliminary data on the development of fire fighting equipments. Fire officers from the seven fire stations located in Gyeonggi-do province were selected and surveyed to achieve the purposes of the study. Using AMOS 18.0, structural equation modeling were applied to analyze the data. Major findings are as follows. First, the propriety of the amount of distribution of fire fighting equipment and the timeliness of distribution have positive effects on the reliability of fire fighting equipment. Second, the reliability of fire fighting equipment has a positive effect on the satisfaction of fire fighting equipment. Third, the propriety of the amount of distribution of fire fighting equipment has a positive effect on the satisfaction of fire fighting equipment. It was found that the reliability of fire fighting equipment has a partial mediating effect on the relationship between the propriety of the amount of distribution of fire fighting equipment and the satisfaction of fire fighting equipment.

Recently as the testing of fire detector used the testing device for fire detector, there are something the matter in the perception function loss of fire detector, structure and form of the testing device for fire detector. The problem at oxidation of emitting smoke ashes hazardous article part and so on that checking person absorbs be. In this paper the problem or the conventional the examination equipment of fire detectors is analysed and researched. To solve these problems after the theoretical study and design and paint drawing of equipment the prototype of composite examination equipment of fire detectors was made. After compared with the conventional, part that improve of composite examination equipment of fire detectors are verified through the examination. In the future it will be useful the operation state and correct operation time of the fire detectors are measured after the research about the quality of the material and transparency of bellows cover is done.

Heat release characteristics of live fire load are an important parameter for performance oriented fire safety design of a building. While investigations have been carried out on the fire load and its burning behavior in office, residential and commercial buildings and so on, little effort has been paid for the rational treatment of fire load in bookstore. In this report, burning behavior of typical combustible objects in bookstore are studied by measuring heat release rates of bookshelf with book.

In the case of the fire to the exterior of the building through openings, the openings of the adjacent building are exposed to the risk of combustion expanding and factors that affect the combustion in the radiant heat and direct flame. Recent five years, fire of the adjacent building indicated that incidence of the 5,134(2.27%) among total 225,934 cases occurred The damage scale of fire expanded was lower than in a single building but casualties(5.46%) and property(25.0%) damage were higher. Therefore, this study provides to analyze the operating status for fire protection equipment of fire-preventing area in the Seoul and to apply measures to improve fire protection equipment according to narrow the distance between the building openings studied.

The field of fire administration has been reinforced and intensified with the manpower and all sorts of equipment, but since the consequence that was mainly given undue value to the quantitative expansion, some problems in the aspect of maintenance and management have been emerged. Characteristically, though, fire equipment should be highly practical, economically efficient and durable, and also have the effectiveness of utilizing them to the right place, maintaining and managing are not as appropriate as they need to have. Therefore, the research provide the effective measures of operating fire equipment by making a comparative study of problems drawn by the analysis of actual conditions on the maintenance and the management of fire equipment.

This study was on basic step to develop a good clean extinguishing agent. In order to get a satisfactory result, we tested fire extinguishing ability using Novec which is inert gas. In study used to Cup Burner Test its made by international standard ISO-14520 regulations of gaseous extinguishing agent ability test. The finding is that a new clean agent, Novec has a very efficient extinguishing ability in a state of gas.

Instruction and prevention of the safety for a fire have been performed continuously by nation. However, the accident due to a fire is not decreasing and causes a serious calamity to people. It is at the initial stage of fire burning that the most effective way to reduce damage is to evacuate and fight a fire. When a fire burns, the equipments reporting to other person or organization concerned are called 'acoustic reporting equipment'. Among those equipments reporting to person, 'a fire bell' is the easiest equipment to approach. Observing the behaviors of people when a fire burning, some are in a quiet indoor, some in a room with other people, some in a square with many people and some in indoor filled with smoke etc. This study aims to find out an acoustic reporting signal appropriate for visual information. For the experiments, visual-auditory experiments were performed through reporting signals and visual informations with several situations that is able to be faced at when a fire burns.

Emergency lantern is an escape equipment of fire fighting. This equipment of obligation installation in buildings. But, We cast doubt on this equipment's reliability. Therefor we have need to study of this equipment's reliability. This paper research general emergency lantern for up grade reliability. For connection to fire alarm system, alarm for get lost general emergency lantern, and pilot lamp for interruption of electric power, and charge to rechargeable battery in general emergency lantern from fire alarm system. Then view very good result in reliability.

Hydrocarbon fires and explosions in petrochemical plants have occurred repeatedly every year. But domestic law of fire protection system is insufficient for the worst case scenario. In this study, we analyzed domestic and foreign standards of fire protection system in petrochemical plants and surveyed firefighting equipment of 32 petrochemical plants in ulsan petrochemical complex. Finally, it is necessary to design fire water supply based on the worst case scenario in petrochemical plants and firefighting equipment such as fixed water spray system, elevated monitor nozzle, water curtain, large amount foam monitor system should be installed for the worst case scenario in petrochemical plants.
