Abstract

When enforcing fire investigation, duty for basic principles, responsibility of investigation, report deadline, and all sorts of standard forms are based on fire investigation report regulation which is internal instructions. This study has a purpose to prepare alternatives that are absent in Korea or have to be strengthened by comparing and examining Japanese and Chinese fire investigation report regulations with Korean one. As a result, it appears that Korea needs to standardize the report deadline of urgency fire and general fire into 30 days when additional investigation is needed, have investigators draw delays reports up when they exceed the deadline not to make work vacuum, and found and organize forms of certificate of custody and return for all fire related materials when investigators require data from fire-related people, to improve whole systems.

화재조사를 실시할 때, 기본원칙과 조사책임, 보고기한, 각종 표준서식 등은 내부 훈령인 화재조사보고 규정을 통해 업무가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 우리나라를 비롯한 일본과 중국의 화재조사보고규정을 통해 운영체제를 비교 검토하여 우리나라 규정에 없거나 보강이 이루어져야 할 대안을 마련하는데 목적이 있다. 결과적으로 추가조사가 필요할 경우 긴급화재와 일반화재에 대한 보고기간을 30일로 표준화하고, 화재조사가 보고기한을 초과할 경우 지연보고서를 작성토록 하여 업무공백이 발생하지 않도록 하여야 하며, 화재관계자에게 자료를 요구할 때 자료보관증과 자료 반환증 서식안을 신설하여 운영하는 제도개선 사항 등이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.
