Purpose: In this study, the status and the risk of fire occurrence in domestic automobile were evaluated and the damage reduction effect by using the fire extinguishing mechanism was evaluated. Method: The analysis of the risk of the occurrence of Vehicle Fires in Korea and the damage of human and property by the use of fire extinguisher applied to fire extinguisher were investigated and analyzed. Results: The annual damage rate of the damage caused by the automobile fire is 4.74%, which shows an annual increase. As a result of the analysis of the personal injury caused by the passenger car in the car fire situation, the damage amount per 100 cases of the fire occurrence increased from 424.65 million won to 473.06 million won in the past 5 years (2012 ~ 2016). Conclusion: When fire extinguishers are used in the case of passenger Vehicle Fires, the average amount of property damage per fire occurrence is estimated to be about 307.5 million, emphasizing the importance and necessity of the initial fire fighting.

본 논문에서는 승용자동차에 대한 소화기 비치 필요성 및 소화기의 효용성 및 적정성에 대해 평가하고자 한다. 이를 위해 소방청 국가화재정보센터에 입력된 차량화재를 분석하였으며, 국외 자동차용 소화기 비치기준을 조사하였다. 또한, 자동차를 대상으로 한 시뮬레이션 선행연구 결과를 분석하여 다른 차종에 비해 승용자동차의 위험도가 가장 높다. 한편, 기존의 시뮬레이션 연구결과를 분석해보면 소화기를 이용한 초기진화가 가능한 황금시간은 실내화재 시 2분, 엔진룸화재 시 약 7분 정도임을 알 수 있다. 이는 승용자동차 화재 시 소화기를 이용한 초기소화가 절실하다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 승용자동차 화재로부터 국민의 안전과 재산을 보호하고 국내 자동차 안전환경 및 자동차 안전기준을 국제기준에 맞춰 국제 경쟁력을 확보하기 위해서는 승용자동차에 소화기 비치를 의무화할 필요성이 있다.

Several complex devices and equipments are installed in the car's engine room, including various kind of oils or other flammable materials. So re-ignition is very likely to take place in it. In addition, it is restrictive for the driver or the occupant to open the bonnet and to spray the fire extinguisher in the engine room due to the high possibility of explosion. Therefore, a fire extinguishing system, which can detect a fire and inject the fire extinguishing agent to extinguish it, and fire extinguishing agents including HFC-227ea, which can stand the high temperature within the engine room and hold the viscosity sufficient to keep it in the kind of foam, were developed and tested. And the suffocation effect and the cooling effect come from the fire extinguishing principle of the foam fire extinguishing agent and the inhibiter catalyst effect come from the one of HFC-227ea was led simultaneously, and fire extinguishing agents without the secondary damage caused by residuals after the fire extinguishment like a case of the powder fire extinguishing agent, were developed. And experiments using a vehicle collision after the discharge is complete, foreign material can be removed without extinguishing the advantage that experimental results obtained.
