Purpose: This study identifies the impact on composition of the firefighting organization, fire command ability, and public opinion operation on organizational citizenship behavior for fire officials to respond to the earthquake disaster, and provides practical implications as basic data for firefighting organizations to cope with the earthquake disaster. Method: Questionnaire survey was performed for 159 fire officials, and the surveyed data was statistically analyzed by using SPSS 22.0 program. Result: First, the results of the verification of the hypothesis showed that the composition of the fire organization, firefield command ability and public opinion operation have a positive impact on organizational citizenship behavior. Second, the relative contribution of independent variables to the dependent variables was identified in the order of composition of fire organization, fire command ability and public opinion operation. Conclusion: The implications of this study suggested from a practical perspective that the government needs to organize firefighting organizations, develop firefield command ability and operate public opinion in advance in order to respond to earthquakes.

Currently, the maintenance of fire products at the site of fire-fighting property are presumably carried out by a fireand/or self. On the other hand, of the special fire-fighting property, only 3.4% of them are the target for a comprehensive precision inspection, which is performed by fire protection management firms. Aging fire products for the rest of special fire-fighting property are absolutely beyond any inspection and reliability verification. This is also true with respect to general households. In this report, the current practice of fire products' useful life management at the site of fire-fighting property were studied. For this study, 32 items of fire products were identified. For the sample data, public institutions and 17 cities and provinces were classified into 18 groups, from which 30 sample targets for each group were determined. Of these targets 422 samples were recovered, based on which this study for establishing a useful 'Management Control System of the Fire Products and its Useful Life' was conducted.

In this study I investigated that fire fighters utilize fire facilities properly or not, and found problems and solutions with interview and questionnaire. Fire fighters tend to utilize portable instruments. 62% of fire fighters have used fire facilities which is installed in building. The most useful facility is indoor fire hydrant, 42% of fire fighters have used that. The primary reason to avoid to use facility is that they think the facilities are not good at quick response. Almost fire fighters want improvement to enhance utilizing fire facilities. Finally in the fire scene, commander's initiative, fire fighter's ability, easiness of utilizing fire facilities, and fire fighter's creditibility about fire facilities are related to the degree of utilizing fire facilities.

The buildings relevant to the law should be designed performance-based necessarily according to "Fire-Fighting System Installation Business Act" amended, January 1. 2009. Performance based design means that building design reflects structure, size, purpose, and building capacity to achieve the most effective design of fire-fighting system. Performance based design has meaning to buildings that it is insufficient to control fire-fighting by previous law-oriented design or inappropriate by uniform design, because of buildings becoming bigger and higher. However, it is difficult to implement the system actually, because laws relevant to fire-fighting prescribe only the object and the required qualifications of performance based design, but they don't have rules to enforce performance based design for specific parts. This study suggests improvements for a desirable implementation of performance based design in legal aspects, by analyzing the current legal regulations related to performance based design.

Purpose and Method: Financial field among the various changes due to the nationalization of fire fighting officials is the main point and to stably settle according to the purpose, improvement of special account for fire fighting officials is suggested by analyzing the facts and related acts. Results: To use the fire fighting project budget entirely in fire fire fighting project by the purpose of the installation of special account for fire fighting officials, dual budgeting standard for labor cost should be revised. In the reserve cost budgeting standard "Within 1/100 of the total budget rule" total budget includes the labor cost, as a result reserve cost budget will keep increase, so reserve cost budget should be fixed by the project budget instead of the total budget. Conclusion: To use the fire fighting budget by the purpose of the installation of special account for fire fighting officials, improvement on budgeting standard is necessary to increase quality of the fire service and stably operate the fire fighting organization.

Japan is a representative state where the volunteer fire brigade consisting of private citizens is well developed although it has an advanced fire fighting system established by local governments. Japan realized the limitation of response by governmental fire fighting system when large-scale natural disasters such as earthquake or typhoon and has developed and promoted several policies to activate the volunteer fire brigade. This study analyzes the policies of the volunteer fire brigade in Japan in detail and suggests policies which can be introduced to activate the volunteer fire brigade in Korea.

소방공무원은 화재 진압 등 근무 중 다양한 사고에 노출되고 있으며, 이로 인해 소방공무원 개인의 문제 분만 아니라 소방력을 약화시켜 궁극적으로 대 국민 소방서비스의 질적 저하를 가져오고 있다. 따라서 소방공무원의 안전사고 최소화를 궁극적인 목적으로 소방활동의 업무영역별 안전사고 대책개발을 위한 전단계로 최근 국내의 800여건의 안전사고를 분석하여 원인별 Matrix를 작성하였다.

소방방재로봇이 2009년 9월부터 대구시 산하 소방서에 배치되어 시범적으로 운용되고 있다. 운용자인 소방관을 대상으로 심층면담과 설문 등을 통해 각종 문제점들과 기능 개선사항을 분석함으로써 현장 적응성, 실효성 있는 로봇의 개발방향을 제시하고자 했다. 소방관 보조로봇은 조종 편의성을 높이고, 장애물 통과 및 이동성이 용이하도록 바퀴 성능을 우선적으로 개선하여야 하며, 소방 필드로봇은 조종 편의성을 높이고, 무게의 경량화와 아울러 제어 통신선 꼬임을 방지하기 위한 무선통신방식을 안정화할 필요가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 현재 운용중인 로봇에 대한 기능 만족도는 전반적으로 낮으며, 보조로봇에 대해서는 현장 투입의사가 8.4% 수준으로 미미하였다. 이에 소방방재로봇의 조기 상용화를 이루기 위해서는 현장에서의 사용 활성화가 우선되어야 하며 이를 통해 국내 로봇산업의 성장과 경쟁력을 높일 수 있을 것이다.

소방시설의 경우 지진 시 건축물의 진동 수준에 따라 2차적으로 지진하중을 받는다. 따라서 소방시설에 직접적인 피해를 입히는 수준보다 작은 지진동에 대하여 내진설계를 수행하는 것은 소방시설 설치비용이 증가하게 되어, 합리적인 수준에 대하여 내진설계를 수행할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에는 다양한 소방시설에 대한 실물 내진실험을 실시하였고, 내진설계범주에 따른 내진설계 적용필요성에 대하여 제안하였다. 실험결과 실제 지진 시 내진설계범주 A와 내진설계범주 B에 대한 건축물의 경우 현재의 소방시설로도 내구성을 가질 수 있다고 판단된다. 내진설계범주 C와 D의 경우는 건축물에 설치된 소방시설의 기능보전을 위해 내진보강 설계가 필요하다.

한일 양국의 소방공무원의 신분, 계급체계, 신규채용, 승진제도 등에 대해 알아보았다. 우리나라는 국가직소방공무원까지 있는 점에서 일본보다 신분제도면에서는 우월하다고 할 수 있다. 우리나라는 소방사와 소방간부후보생으로 신규채용이 크게 2원화되어 있는데 비해 동경소방청은 모두 소방사로 채용하되 채용구분을 두고 있는 점이 다르며, 승진제도에 있어 우리나라보다 객관화된 제도를 갖고 있다고 할 수 있다. 그리고 우리나라는 채용구분이 퇴직까지 영향을 미치는데 비해 일본은 채용구분을 매년 전환할 수 있는 능력인정제도를 두고 있는 점에서 우리나라와 큰 차이가 있다고 볼 수 있다. 이러한 차이점은 우리나라 소방공무 원인사제도를 개혁하는데 참고가 될 것이다.
