Recently, the number of cases of fire spreading due to exterior materials of buildings is increasing. Due to the nature of modern architecture, which emphasizes the aesthetics of buildings, because buildings pursue a splendid appearance, they are inexpensive and have relatively good insulation performance, but an increasing number of buildings are adopting insulation materials that have poor fire safety performance. The risk of spread is also greatly increased. Since the exterior wall of a building is made of a variety of materials and structures, it is composed of a combination of several elements, including materials such as insulation and finishing materials. Therefore, it was determined that it was necessary to introduce a more systematic evaluation method for building exterior materials, and to improve the system reflecting this, away from the existing evaluation method that only checked the fire safety performance of finishing materials.

Recently, even though firefighting operations are supposed to be incorporated into single body IAW restructuring of the government organizations, in terms of efficiency it is still difficult to find any significant improvements due to the centrally and locally segregated operating bodies and also, as with organizations firefighting manpowers are divided nationally and locally, which results in differing firefighting functioning. Although governments firefighting bodies are changed to operate better, there are always limitations in firefighting operations. This study explores firefighting organizations, manpower, equipment and operations itself to optimize firefighting operations, and ultimately, to provide the future-oriented functions and roles of the firefighting aviation corps.

This study is to investigate the problems of procurement circumstance of the current fire service funds and to suggest the alternatives for procuring the fire service funds for dealing with increasing demand on the fire service in the local autonomous era. The results are as the followings. First, most fire service officers see the procurement circumstances as premature stage and perceive the necessity of the improvement of this condition. In particular, the officers at the fire center recognize this problem as an urgent question than the officers at the front fire branches. In addition, as for the alternatives of the procurement of fire service funds, both groups prefer the long term plan to the short term plan, and show positive responses to the National Emergency Management Agency and central government as the entity to raise fire funds. As for the alternatives to improve financial system, both groups show the most positive responses on the way to increase the current common facilities tax. As for the specific procurement alternatives of fire funds, both groups agree the alternative to increase common facilities tax mostly, and to the next they agree the alternative to insecure fire funds by restructuring current financial system and by establishing fire service hospital and fire equipment maintenance center.

Korea has the highest suicide rate in the world, and firefighters have the highest suicide rate among the professional population. As a result of the study, post-traumatic stress disorder education is essential in all occupations. Post-traumatic stress disorder is the most common disease and the biggest obstacle for firefighters in Korea. Firefighters who have suffered physical and mental damage in many types of disaster sites due to their extreme occupations are rapidly increasing the suicide rate in recent years. In order to maximize the effect of job training, education on post-traumatic stress disorder from new employees to leadership training is urgently needed.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate basic data on preceptor's core competencies required for junior 119 paramedics to improve the quality of emergency care in the prehospital field. Methods: From February 23 to March 10, 2021, data were collected through structured mobile questionnaires from 163 paramedics working in Sejong, Daejeon, and Chung Nam fire stations. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0. Results: The average score of core competencies for junior 119 paramedics accounted for the importance of core competency (3.92 points), level of competence (3.43 points), educational needs (3.65 points). Among them, the importance of a role model accounted for 4.02 points, the highest among the sub-areas. Additionally, there was a significant correlation (r=.686), which was the highest, between the importance and educational needs of core competency; therefore, higher the importance of core competency, higher are the educational needs. Conclusion: Preceptor's core competencies concern three domains: role model, socialization facilitation, and instructional design. It would be more effective for those with higher professionalism and professional self-development needs to be trained as a prehospital preceptor.

Forest fires in Korea usually start in the fall and occur every year until spring. Most wildfires are human resources that combine topographical characteristics and carelessness, and failure to respond in the initial stage and lack of cleanup are spreading to large-scale wildfires. In order to prevent these wildfires, active cooperation from the public is essential. As can be seen from recent wildfires, the attention of the public is needed above all else because large-scale wildfires in Korea are occurring due to the people's negligence. If a wildfire spreads and becomes large, it causes damage to life and property, and the damage is irreversible. In this study, various methods were used to prevent forest fires and improve initial suppression ability. In order to minimize damage, the model analyzed by the 119 Special Rescue Team in Gangwon, Chungcheong and nearby forest fires was analyzed on the combustion progress and wind direction by time period. The propagation speed by the wind direction was simulated. Until now, most of the wildfires have been extinguished by firefighting, but I hope that the Forest Service will take the lead and maintain coordination with related organizations.

Recently, in Korea, if a very large forest fire occurs due to the people's carelessness, it is of great interest because it spreads into a large forest fire. If a wildfire spreads and becomes large, it will inflict great damage (appointment and property), and the damage is irreversible. The best way to extinguish a wildfire is to prevent it before it occurs. If a forest fire occurs due to a failure in prevention, the early firefighting activities to prevent the progress of the forest fire by promptly dispatching it by reporting it and approaching the site as soon as possible should now be managed with a systematic integrated management system. To do so, it is necessary to prepare a preventive system, such as issuing warnings for each weather condition by the Korea Forest Service, consisting of cooperation (support) activities for forest fire prevention by related organizations, etc. In order to minimize the loss of precious lives and forests, measures have been taken to establish a system, to establish a prompt and accurate situation reporting system, and to establish an integrated command system (ICS) for on-site commanders.

This study examined the adequacy of a school classroom's occupant load density standard to cope with the issues associated with the decreasing number of students and regional variations. Therefore, this study analyzed the occupant load density standards of kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, and universities using the data open to the public by the Ministry of Education. The results revealed a high variance in the occupant load density according to the school type. The median values were 1.49, 3.45, 2.64, 2.45, and $3.41m^2/person$ for kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, and universities, respectively. Although the occupant load density was higher than the current standard ($1.9m^2/person$), except for kindergarten, the present standard did not need to be improved immediately, considering the purpose of calculating the maximum occupancy. On the other hand, if improvements are made in line with other enhancements of a national education policy, it will be possible to mitigate the measure to $2.5m^2/person$ based on the survey results.

본 논문에서는 한국사회 내 2014년 이후 2022년 현재까지 진행되고 있는 다양한 생애주기별 재난안전교육 체계를 분석하여 재난 발생 시 자신의 생명과 재산을 보호할 수 있는 재난안전교육 인프라 구축을 위한 제언을 통해 시민 대상별 최적화된 재난안전교육 체계화를 모색하고자한다. 2014년 4월16일에 발생한 세월호 침몰 사고는 2015년 '재난 및 안전관리 기본법' 시행규칙의 일부 개정 및 이에 근거한 '국민안전의 날'이 국민안전의 중요성을 되새기자는 의미로 제정된 계기가 되었을 뿐만 아니라, 재난안전교육에 관한 전반적인 변화의 필요성을 깨닫게 해준 가슴 아픈 사건이었다. 이에 서울시 소방재난본부 현장대응단에서 2014년 말부터 시민대상 초기대응을 위한 재난안전 교육체계를 기획하고 10만의 안전리더 양성을 추진했다. 동시에 다양한 형태의 시민대상의 재난안전교육이 시, 도별로 진행되었다. 특히 서울 시민의 1%인 10만 시민안전파수꾼 양성을 위해 진행되었던 시민안전파수꾼 정책 사업을 위한 재난안전 교육체계는 시민을 대상으로 황금시간 목표달성을 통한 초기대응으로 재난규모를 최소화 할 수 있도록 안전에 관한 소양교육의 기본을 구성해 교육했고, 이는 시민 대상 재난안전교육의 방향에 대해 시사하는 바가 크다. 정책사업 초기 대학생 이상의 성인을 교육 대상으로 선정하여 교육이 진행되었고, 그 후 2018년 이후 고등학교 이상으로 교육의 대상범위를 확대하여 진행했지만 안전리더로서 역할은 한국사회 전체 구성원들의 인식이 필요한 부분으로 어린 시절부터의 반복 교육을 통한 안전문화가 시스템으로 구축되어 자연스럽게 습득되어 질 수 있도록 해야 한다는 필요성을 절감하게 되었다. 이에 다양한 생애주기별 재난안전교육 체계를 분석하여 국민스스로 재난 발생 시 자신의 생명과 재산을 보호할 수 있는 재난안전교육 인프라 구축을 위해 시민대상 재난 안전교육을 '황금시간 목표달성'을 준거틀로 기존의 중앙, 서울시, 부산시, 경기도 및 산하 교육청에서 실시해온 재난안전교육 체계 관련 문헌의 비교분석을 통해 시민 대상별 생애주기별 최적화된 초기대응을 위한 재난안전교육 체계를 모색하여 재난안전교육의 방향을 제시해 보고자 한다.
