Fire at building can occur enormous damages to life, properties, and environment and the risk of fire breakout is going up higher because of application of combustible materials than before. Therefore, the steel industries are trying to develop fire resistant steel in order to sustain the load bearing capacity of steel structures during fire situation. In this paper, to give the basis data-bases for evaluation of structural stability of steel structures applied fire resistant steel, FR 490, the tests of mechanical and thermal properties at high temperature were conducted and the comparisons are done with the SM 490 that has the same mechanical one.

The need for early fire detection technology is increasing in order to prevent fire disasters. Sensor device detection for heat, smoke and fire is widely used to detect flame and smoke, but this system is limited by the factors of the sensor environment. To solve these problems, many image-based fire detection systems are being developed. In this paper, we implemented a system to detect fire and smoke from camera input images using a convolution neural network. Through the implemented system using the convolution neural network, a feature map is generated for the smoke image and the fire image, and learning for classifying the smoke and fire is performed on the generated feature map. Experimental results on various images show excellent effects for classifying smoke and fire.

Fire fighters are exposed to the risk of many accidents during fire suppression, especially near the high voltage circuit. In order to prevent and analyze the electric shock accidents, measurement of water resistance is crucial. However, this has been one of the overlooked research areas and it has been very difficult to measure the mixed up resistance components separately. In this paper, we measured a total resistance of apparatus and regarded it as a serial resistance of contact resistance and length dependant resistance. Measuring the resistance by varying the length of water stream, the variable resistance and fixed contact resistance appear, which are used to calculate the both components of resistances. In addition, the resistance of fire hose can be calculated from the parallel circuit which is formed by grounding the fire hose with the resistance of water stream. Results show that we can successfully measure the resistance per unit length of water stream and fire hose, thereby proving that this method is a facile way to measure water and fire hose resistance. However, many experiments are still required to obtain the precise contact resistance of ground under various condition and the resistance between the human body and fire hose.

This study investigated the impact of the fire disturbance and the pattern of recovery of soil dwelling oribatid mite communities with respect to the resilience from the fire disturbance. Oribatid mites are important decomposer animals of plant debris in soil with the feeding habits of saprophagy and mycophagy. Massive wild fire reduced soil oribatid mite abundance and diversity. The impact varied relative to the intensity of the disturbance. The proportion of the species common to the non-disturbed natural site increased as the time after the disturbance elapsed, which implying some degree of naturalness occurring in reorganization phase of the oribatid mite community. From the sites with different degree of fire impact, we found higher diversity in intermediately disturbed sites than in severely disturbed or non-disturbed site, supporting the intermediate disturbance hypothesis. Also this study showed that with differential degree of disturbance plots, resilience pattern after the disturbance can be explored even with shorter period research relative to the ecological succession of community.

There are many problems with the fire detection devices being used in currently, because it is difficult to find location of the source of fire and determine where devices are working or not. In this paper, we proposed fire detection and rescue system using wireless sensor network that can be real-time monitoring and determine safe exit. Fire detection and rescue system based on ubiquitous sensor network can know exactly source of fire and help determine rescue tactics using sensing data from wireless sensor nodes. Transmitted wirelessly in real-time thermal sensor and gas sensor information to analyze the GUI to monitor the status information output to the screen by use of a system implemented in everyday life, looked at the possibility.

Wireless Sensor Networks will revolutionize applications such as environmental monitoring, home automation, and logistics. We developed forest fire surveillance system. In this paper, Considering the fact that in Korea, during November to May, forest fires occur very frequently causing catastrophic damages on the valuable environment, Although exists other forest fire surveillance system such as surveillance camera tower, infrared ray sensor system and satellite system. Preexistence surveillance system can't real-time surveillance, monitoring, database and automatic alarm. But, forest fire surveillance system(FFSS) support above. In this paper, we describes a system development approach for a wireless sensor network based FFSS that is to be used to measure temperature and humidity as well as being fitted with a smoke detector. Such a device can be used as an early warning fire detection system and real-time surveillance in the area of a bush fire or endangered public infrastructure. Once the system has being development, a mesh network topology will be implemented with the chosen sensor node with the aim of developing a sophisticated mesh network.

The purpose of this study is to make sure what the stress causes of women's EMTs within the firehouse are, and is to suggest ideas (plans) that are possible to resolve this problem. The reasons are because of difficulties such as not only the overwork at one's tasks, the uncomfortable working environment and circumstances, women's pregnancy, but also shift work or the shift system. It's own ideas about the way to resolve these difficulties are as follows: a separate operation of first-aid department, environmental improvement within a fire house (fire station) via remodeling, activation of substitute man power, alterating women's EMT services into daywork system, mutual encouragement and solicitude among co-workers, reinforcement of the number of the working force to be mobilized, and adoption about the rest year system in employment.

본 연구에서는 체계적이고 효율적인 화재관리 시스템을 구축하기에 앞서 화재의 유형을 분석하고자 강원지역을 대상으로 통계적 분석방법을 활용하였다. SPSS와 Clementine 프로그램을 이용하여 소방방재청 국가화재정보시스템의 2007년과 2008년 화재발생 자료를 대상으로 빈도분석 및 교차분석과 같은 기초통계분석을 비롯하여 의사결정트리 분석 등을 수행하였다. 결과를 살펴보면, 강원지역의 화재건수는 2006년부터 2009년까지 증가추세를 보이고 있으며, 화재유형은 50% 정도가 건축/구조물에 의한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 화재원인으로는 부주의가 가장 높았으며, 작동기기가 발생건수가 가장 높은 발화열원인 것으로 확인되었다.

On this research, we show some concrete examples as software design, 2D/3D display, graph display, and gage display to develop a data monitoring system for real time safe fire testing. Developed software which is simulation software for live fire testing, has been designed to display informations about whole test status in a live fire testing, and with this, user can control a live fire testing under the safe environment. Beside, we increase a security by using a authority of user to access on this software. and we develop it based on module designed to apply a requirement of user later on.
