With the spread of FMD and AI in the country livestock farmers have used lime(CaO) prevalently and due to incorrect storage lime served as a fire ignition source in a number of cases. As combined chemically with water, lime has exothermic reaction. Then In these experiments we want to know how exothermic reaction - caused by lime - acts as sources of fire ignition in any circumstances and conditions. So we have done experimental work of ignition temperature and ignition process in the artificial conditions as lime combined chemically with water. As a result, we have confirmed that lime could be flammable material sufficiently as a fire ignition source with the proper presence of heat and moisture conditions. If the lime served as sources of fire ignition, as identification techniques of fire scene, we must ascertain the existence of water, flammable material and Calcium Hydroxide($Ca(OH)_2$). We should take special precautions in order to prevent fire and educate the safe handling of lime to the manufacturer and agricultural cooperative's joint livestock farmers who product or use lime.

In this study, we drew identification techniques of cigarette fires through the cases analyses of the combustion characteristics, the combustion time, the combustion temperature, the combustion test of smoldering materials and the reappearance experiments of cigarette fires. To initiate fires by cigarette fire, the conditions of oxygen supply, combustible materials must be satisfied. On the other hand, fires were not spreaded easily under the insufficient combustion conditions.

Domestic sandwich panel buildings are widely used on walls and roofs of factories and warehouse facilities. Factory and warehouse facilities have high fire load and rapid spread of fire due to their use characteristics, leading to large fires. Due to the characteristics of materials, walls and roofs are collapsed, resulting in life damage and property damage. In this regard, this study examined domestic and international standards of sprinkler facilities to prevent ignition of sandwich panel walls. Also, in order to check whether the fire was prevented by installing the head on the wall of the sandwich panel, the fire test was carried out with 10 cm, 60 cm, and 120 cm from the wall along the sprinkler head installation standard of domestic fire safety standards. As a result of the fire test, it was confirmed that the sandwich panel was prevented from igniting when the head of water pressure 0.1 MPa and water quantity K-80 was installed. According to the separation distance, it was impossible to measure the temperature at 10 cm, but at 60 cm, At the maximum temperature of $525^{\circ}C$ and 120 cm, the maximum temperature of the wall of the sandwich panel was measured as $276^{\circ}C$. As a result of the fire test, considering the fire point of 450 degrees Celsius in the fire test of the sandwich panel, the distance from the sandwich panel wall to the combustible is more than 120 cm.

The history of illumination has been much long since the discovery of lamplight caused huge changes in human lives. However, the swift development of the illumination actually started with the invention of a carbon filament lamp by Thomas Edison in 1878. Generally, the illumination tools plays important roles in human lives such as reduction of fatigue, improvement of safety and working efficiency, and the creation of enjoyable atmosphere. But, the illumination tools can be an origin of the fire due to carelessness and lack of management. In this study, the principle and structure of the illumination lamp were dealt with. The possibility of the fire outbreak caused by the incandescent lamp and fluorescent lamp most used in home was investigated. The examples of the fire outbreaks by the incandescent and fluorescent lamps and by the contact between the inflammable materials and the distributing wires were mentioned and demonstrated by the experimental.

최근 초고층구조물 및 대공간구조물등에 대한 소방법의 성능설계등이 법제화되어 시행될 예정으로 있으나 화재성상예측등에 대한 기초적인 연구등이 매우 부족한 실정이며 이에따라 성능설계를 실시하기 위한 기반여건이 매우 취약한 조건이다. 특히 강구조건축물의 경우 초고층구조물의 전형적인 구조형식으로서 성능설계에 대한 연구기반이 조속히 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본고는 전보에 이어 화재하중등과 밀접한 관련이 있는 가연물조사등과 더불어 이에 대한 이웃 일본건축학회의 강구조건축에 대한 성능적 내화설계방법론중 하중편을 조사하여 향후 국내의 화재하중선정을 위한 기초자료로 사용될수 있도록 하였다.

In performance-based on fire safety design of buildings, design fires are assumed to be relatively coarse information on potential combustible objects described by its name, weight, size and main constituent materials. As early as 1970s, researchers from Japan has employed various methods of research regarding combustibles investigations. In result, researchers came up with one method that is being presently used. Therefore, our country basis in collection of data for combustibles yielded average measure, receipt rate of furniture usage and execution of combustible investigations to occupancy zone of university respondents. We have found out problem about excessive usage of multi-outlet extensions through research.

Purpose: This study aims to support the dispatcher to analysis the architecture type of fire. Method: Analysis the dispatch protocol guideline (released by gyunggi fire brigade) and make the dispatch scenario by site, combustibles, evacuation, fire extinguish systems. Result: After making scenario, develop the system (for dispatcher), is based on the tablet PC. Conclusion: Dispatch systems apply not only fire but rescue and disaster. This study focus on the fire, but It is need to expend the rescue and disaster. in korea, Fire Safety Evaluation and Multishop DB are possible to link to this system.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to reduce the fire of the same type by analyzing the form which is mainly generated based on the result of the fire investigation through the experiment to reproduce, since the candle fire is repeated every year with the same type. Methods: For the analysis of candle flame, 4 kinds of methods such as acrylic recharge test, FOMEX acrylic recharge test, general combustible recharge test, and natural fire extinguishing test of candle were conducted. Results: It was confirmed that continuous burning is difficult to be achieved without contact of combustible materials around. Conclusion: In order to prevent a candle fire, it is important to check the safety of the surrounding area. It is also considered to introduce safety regulations such as finishing with a fireproof material such as a silver foil at the terminal end.

It is necessary to enhance its availability and reliability of performance based fire design of building with various type of database such as experiments, survey and fire properties and so on. In order to utilize to the performance based fire design, the present study has been performed a series of experiments to investigate the burning characteristics of building materials for two types of interior board and three types of interior louver. The burning test has been also conducted for different thickness because it may show different characteristics of burning behavior such as flame spread rate and flame propagation time. The result shows that the effective heat release per unit mass of interior materials were almost constant with 15.3~16.9 MJ/kg regardless of its thickness while the peak heat release rate and maximum $CO_2$ concentration was varied with thickness.
