The assessment of wildland fire hazard is the first priority to be considered in the prevention, extinction and control of wildland fire. For the standard to measure wildland fire hazard, the wildland fire Warning System is currently being used in Korea which computes the wildland fire occurrence hazard index through a stick weight to moisture conversion formula. It shows the risk of fuel substance being exposed to fire by meteorological factors. For a comprehensive assessment of wildland fire hazards by area, the major factors'hazards need to be measured and the assessment of wildland fire needs to be conducted through historical statistic examination. Therefore, the wildland (ire outbreak frequency and its seriousness of damage are analyzed through historical statistic examination to conduct the assessment of a wildland fire hazard, and then the calorific value of a forest is analyzed through differential scanning calorimeter measurement which assesses the comparative calorific hazard according to the geographical distribution of vegetation.

최근 인조녹화재료의 대표적 제품으로 인공녹지조성, 스포츠시설에 많이 사용되는 인조매트는 그 사용량이 급격히 증가하였다. 주로 건축물 실내에 바닥재로 많이 사용되고 있지만 실내용 바닥재 관련 규정은 전무하다. 본 연구에서는 인조매트를 사용하는 시설 중 화재위험성이 크다고 판단되는 실내골프연습장의 시장조사를 통하여 실제 적용된 인조매트의 화재위험성에 대해 분석하고자 한다.

섬유공업에서 텐터기는 가장 필수적인 가공설비이지만, 화재가 가장 많이 발생하는 설비이다. 하지만 현재까지 텐터기의 화재위험성에 대한 인식 및 연구가 부족한 편이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 텐터기 화재의 위험성을 분석하고자 국내 최대 섬유공장 밀집지역인 대구서구지역 비산염색공단의 화재사례를 바탕으로 텐터기의 화재위험성을 분석하였다.

본 연구는 지하노래방 화재 원인 분석을 수행시 기존의 전기기기들 자체 화재위험성 연구보다 주위 먼지들의 화재 위험성을 중점적으로 연구 하였으며 이를 위하여 국내 화재가 많이 발생되는 곳의 먼지를 수거하여 먼지(dust layer)들의 전기기기 위에서의 발화, 절연저항, 전기적 아크에 의한 착화 가능성을 실험하여 예방대책의 기초자료를 제시하였다.

With the huge navy projects such KDX-III, LPX, bigger and more complicated vessel constructions are being underway in navy. In this paper, considering these trends, we performed a risk analysis on the navy vessel for the fatality of soldiers on board and presented the risk level with FN curve. Assuming a fire occurs in one of the soldier bedrooms, we established event tree to visualize the possible development scenarios and calculated the fatality for each scenario. The critical condition to survive inside the bedroom was obtained through CFAST program.

On the construction site, there exists frequently a high likelihood that a fire accident can lead to a large-scale disaster. In the previous studies, the diverse outcomes have been focused on the improvement of relative statutes and tried to realize the suppression and confrontation of the fire accidents. In this study, the limitations on the site were identified through prior research reviews, and the fire risk assessment checklist was proposed through the analysis of the massive accident cases. The checklist was divided into the prevention and minimization steps and developed into 16 categories of total risk factors. According to the results from the cases applied in this study, if the installation status is checked, such as removing combustibles, and broadcasting facilities for evacuation are installed, it is expected that the casualties will be minimized or zeroed. By developing a fire risk assessment checklist, this study provides the implications of the theoretical and realistic fire accident prevention, and supports the ways to minimize the damage resulted from the fire accidents on construction sites. In the further, deriving universe and common items about repeated occurrences of a work type will be needed as a subsequent research.

다중이용업소는 화재사고가 빈번하게 일어날 뿐만 아니라 그 피해가 대부분이 사회적 약자에게 발생한다. 아래 표는 2010년 다중이용업소에서 발생한 화재건수를 나타내는 것으로 전기적인 요인과 부주의에 따른 화재가 대부분이다. 다중이용업소의 보험가입 현황은 2009년 기준으로 다중이용업소를 운영하는 소상공인의 50.1%만이 화재보험에 가입되어 있는 실정이다. 이번 호에는 다종이용업소의 위험분석과 이에 대한 보험상식에 대하여 알아보고자 한다.

Tourist hotels are equipped with facilities such as accommodation and restaurants, exercise, recreation. Unspecified guests, visitors and management of tourist hotels are very vulnerable on the casualties and property losses due to fire peril exist. In this study, we analysis that the fire statistics status of tourist hotels from 2001 to 2010. And the 15 cases of a large hotel fire are reviewed. The total number of fires on hotel are consist of a hotel rooms fire(33.2%), a restaurant kitchen fire(11.8%). And the major causes of the fire are an electrical fire (40.8%), a cigarette fire (14.5%) and a hot-work fire (9.2%). In case study, the fire wall defect and combustible materials are major fire loss causes for 10year. Each tourist hotels are needed a development of suitable fire risk management and a field operations. A hotel is required an active fire risk management on a preventive inspection, an education and training, and a preventive maintenance. It is necessary that a fire wall maintenance to prevent of the spread of a fire and a sprinkler installation of whole area to protect fire. And it is very important an emergency response for evacuation of guest, and operate emergency procedures on a fire or emergency situation.

The present paper is a study on the risk analysis of complex electrical fire by the partial disconnection and tracking. First, in order to analysis the single cause of electrical fire risk by the partial disconnection, the thermal characteristic has been measured by the change in the number of strands and the rated current of a wire. And then, in order to analysis the electrical fire risk by complex cause, an experiment on the accelerated tracking has been carried out in a condition of partial disconnection and confirmed the fire relation between partial disconnection and tracking. From the experiment, if the partial wire disconnection acts as a single cause, the existing thermal characteristics generated by the flowing current has appeared more clearly by the increase in the flowing current due to the complex action of tracking. Accordingly, the disconnection of strands has appeared by the complex cause due to the drastic temperature increase which was not generated in the single cause. Namely, it has been confirmed that if the partial disconnection and tracking act complexly rather than the risk of electrical fire by the existing partial disconnection, relatively its risk has been increased in large.
