본 연구는 주거용 건축물에 설치하는 단독경보형감지기와 소화기의 보급률의 문제점과 개선대책을 제시한 연구이다. 국가화재정보시스템의 통계 자료에 의하면 최근 8년간 전체 화재의 18%, 사망자의 45%가 주거용 건축물에서 발생한 것으로 나타났다. 그런데도 2019년 현재 주거용 건축물에 설치하는 기초 소방시설의 보급률은 60%에도 도달하지 못하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 화재 안전에 대한 대책의 수립을 위해 관련 법령 및 화재 발생 현황을 분석하였다. 그리고 첫째 60세 이상의 노인 계층 및 소방차량 진입 곤란 지역의 재난 약자를 대상으로 무상보급, 둘째 재난 취약계층을 위한 재난 안전 수당의 도입, 셋째 공인중개사법의 개정을 통한 보급 확대, 넷째 각종 안전교육을 통한 기초 소방시설의 자율적 설치유도 및 Data base system의 구축을 통한 기초 소방시설의 보급률 증가, 다섯째 공동주택 국가 화재안전기준의 제정을 제안하였다.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the characteristics and spreading laws of parameters such as fire smoke, concentration of CO, visibility, and temperature at fire scene in high-rise residential buildings under the different conditions of fire doors and automatic fire extinguishing systems. Using Pyrosim to simulate diverse fire scenes in a high-rise apartment with corridors, to analyze the changes in those parameters. The results show that when a fire occurs, closing the fire-fighting corridor will increase the smoke temperature and concentration of CO in the stairwell, and reduce the height and visibility of the smoke layer; the automatic fire extinguishing system effectively suppresses the increase in the temperature of the fire smoke and the sedimentation of the smoke layer. Reasonable setting and operation of the automatic fire extinguishing system could effectively inhibit the spread of fire. Although closing fire corridor can slow down the direct upward spread of smoke through the corridor, it will force the fire smoke into the stairwell, which will seriously affect evacuation through the stairs. Therefore, in order to reduce risks, it is forbidden to close the fire doors of the firefighting corridor and stacking combustible materials in the corridor, Also, intensifying inspections and ensuring the normal operation of the automatic fire extinguishing system are indispensable. Based on the research results, the significance of installing fire-fighting facilities in the construction of high-rise apartments was discussed and proved.

The purpose of this study is to analyze four cases of firefighter burns in various fire scenes and to find prevention measures to decrease firefighter injuries. Among the analysis reports prepared by the National Fire Research Institute of Korea from 2016 to 2020, four burn-related accidents are summarized and the main causes are conveyed. The four accidents include second-degree burns from using extinguishers during containment of fires; nine firefighters burned due to re-ignition in the LPG car repair shop; two firefighters injured with third-degree burns from using fire extinguishers during life-saving events in residential housing; and injuries from the radiant heat of the tank BLEVE near the factory fire. These cases are comprehensively investigated in their respective scenes and analyzed based on the fire site investigation reports from the fire department and related theoretical explanations of risk for each accident scene. In the third case study, some experimental research is conducted to evaluate the risk involved with the use of safety gloves. This is evaluated by reviewing Fire Tactics and Standard Operational Procedures (SOP) to determine improvements and recommendations for an efficient firefighting response. Results show that the main causes of burn accidents are the insufficient use of personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety gloves, and the failure to follow firefighting tactics or SOPs. Through the accident investigation and assessment, it is concluded that to reduce the frequency of burn accidents, the performance of firefighting equipment, SOPs, protection tactics, and safety policy systems require improvement.
