This study was focused on the ethical dilemmas of fire fighters in Korea. There was no research on ethical dilemmas and experience of fire fighters and paramedics(emergency medical technician, EMT) in Korea. So I am going to survey this ethical problems through questionnaires and propose the basic data for the legal and ethical solutions.

소방공무원은 근무 중 예고 없이 출동해야 하기 때문에 식사속도가 빠를 것으로 추정된다. 본 연구의 목적은 소방공무원의 식사속도가 건강에 어떤 영향을 주는지 알기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 검증하기 위하여 소방공무원과 다른 직종 종사자에 대한 식사속도를 측정하였다. 식사에 소요되는 평균시간 측정결과, 소방공무원이 8분 29.00초로 가장 짧았으며, 해양경찰공무원 8분 33.17초, 군인 10분 44.77초, 일반직공무원 12분 49.33초, 대학생 14분 15.00초, 일반회사원 16분 51.00초 순으로 측정되었다. 빠른 식습관은 체중증가 및 대사증후군에 영향을 준다는 것을 선행연구에서 확인할 수 있었으며, 미국 소방관을 대상으로 한 설문조사에서는 8년간 7.7파운드의 체중증가가 있었다고 발표되었다. 소방공무원의 식사시간을 늦추기 위해서 각 소방학교의 교육과정 중에 건강에 유익한 식습관에 대한 교육을 실시할 것을 제안한다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of fire fighters' duty type on occurrence and severity of low back pain. Data were collected with questionnaire to 450 fire fighters working at 119 safety center and rescue unit of 30 fire stations in Gyeonggi-do. Finally the study was analyzed for 360 persons among them. The risk of experiencing of lower back pain occurred in the order of Rescue[odds ratio(OR) 3.36, 95% confidence interval(95% CI) 1.18-9.52], Vehicle operation(OR 2.63, 95% CI 1.26-5.50), First aid(OR 2.18, 95% CI 1.03-4.59), and Putting out a fire. The risk on severity of lower back pain occurred in the order of Vehicle operation(OR 4.00, 95% CI 1.57-9.80), First aid(OR 1.88, 95% CI 1.00-4.81), Putting out a fire, and Rescue. These result suggest that duty type of fire fighters may be a prognostic factor for occurrence and severity of low back pain. The potential implications of these findings are discussed about different approach for primary and secondary prevention by duty type of fire fighters.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to test the feasibility and acceptability of a new workers' health surveillance (WHS) for fire fighters in a Dutch pilot-implementation project. Methods: In three fire departments, between November 2007 and February 2009, feasibility was tested with respect to i) worker intent to change health and behavior; ii) the quality of instructions for testing teams; iii) the planned procedure in the field; and iv) future WHS organisation. Acceptability involved i) satisfaction with WHS and ii) verification of the job-specificity of the content of two physical tests of WHS. Fire fighters were surveyed after completing WHS, three testing teams were interviewed, and the content of the two tests was studied by experts. Results: Feasibility: nearly all of the 275 fire fighters intended to improve their health when recommended by the occupational physician. The testing teams found the instructions to be clear, and they were mostly positive about the organisation of WHS. Acceptability: the fire fighters rated WHS at eight points (out of a maximum of ten). The experts also reached a consensus about the optimal job-specific content of the future functional physical tests. Conclusion: Overall, it is feasible and acceptable to implement WHS in a definitive form in the Dutch fire-fighting sector.

본 연구에서는 소방공무원들이 건축물에 설치된 소방시설을 화재진압에 적절하게 활용하고 있는지, 그리고 사용하고 있지 않다면 이를 이용하는데 어떤 문제점이 있는지에 대하여 파악하고, 문제가 있다면 개선방안은 어떠한 것이 있는지에 대하여, 소방공무원들을 대상으로 설문과 인터뷰를 실시하고 결과를 분석하였다. 소방공무원들은 평소 사용하는데 익숙한 휴대 장비를 사용하려는 경향이 있었으며, 62%가 소방시설을 사용하여 화재를 진압한 경험이 있고, 활용한 소방시설은 옥내소화전이 42%로 가장 많았으며, 소방시설이 설치되어 있는데도 활용하지 않은 이유로는 신속대응을 위해 적절하지 않기 때문이라는 답변이 32.5%로 가장 많았고, 건축물에 설치된 소방시설을 용이하게 사용하기 위한 개선이 필요한가에 대한 질문에 대부분 매우 그렇다 및 그렇다고 답변하였다. 결론적으로 화재현장에서 건축물에 설치된 소방시설 활용도의 변수로서 현장지휘자의 소방시설 활용에 대한 적극성, 소방시설활용 능력, 설치기준 및 구조의 용이성, 소방시설의 신뢰도에 대한 인식 등이 유의한 것으로 조사되었다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate influence factors of secondary traumatic stress, burnout, and physical symptoms which were experienced by fire fighters. The questionnaire research was done for field service fire fighters who work in Korea. I analyzed 358 questionnaires and the questionnaires consisted of stress scale, work force, burden of physical symptoms, and self-control to stress. Through this study I will propose the solution for the posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD) for the near future.

This study tried to identify the effects of ergonomic risk factors for absence from work of fire fighters in Korea. A self-administered questionnaire was prepared for this study. The questionnaire consisted of several parts such as 'general information', 'work-related factors', 'physical & chemical risk factors', 'ergonomic risk factors', and 'absence information'. A total of 7,098 fire fighters participated in this study. The data obtained from the survey was mainly analyzed by logistic regression. A total of 856 out of 7,098 fire fighters experienced absence from work. The risk factors such as gender, age, marital status, education level, total work year, work area. position, job rotation, noise, dust, organic solvent, skin contact with chemical substance, toxic waste, regional vibration, manual material handling, continuous standing posture, awkward working posture were associated with absence from work. Specifically, awkward working posture and manual material handling from ergonomic risk factors were major risk factors for absence from work.

Purpose: Job satisfaction, spouse support, parenting stress, and the factors that influence parenting stress in female fire fighters with preschool-aged children were examined. Methods: Data were collected from 180 female fire fighters who worked at the fire station from June to July 2013 and had preschool-aged children. Data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 21.0. Results: Average job satisfaction was 2.81, spouse support was 3.54, and parenting stress was 3.61. Parenting stress was negatively correlated with spouse support and job satisfaction. Job satisfaction and spouse support were positively correlated. Factors influencing parenting stress included employment period (${\beta}$=0.093, p <.05), a husband who is not a fire fighter (${\beta}$=-8.971, p <.05), having three children (${\beta}$=27.395, p <.05), delegating childcare to relatives (${\beta}$=9.605, p <.05), income (${\beta}$=-0.920, p <.05), and spouse support (${\beta}$=-0.589, p <.05). Conclusion: To reduce parenting stress and increase job satisfaction, female fire fighters with preschool-aged children should be assigned to stable administrative work instead of stressful on-site work. Husbands who are fire fighters should take advantage of paternity leave, implemented by the Ministry of Public Safety and Security, to increase their active participation in parenting.

The purpose of this study was to verify the change in temperature humidity perspiration of fire suit when applying phased intensive exercises to fire fighter wearing fire suit. For this study, three male fire fighters took basic physical test and performed 10 minute phased intensive exercises -exercise intensity I (30%VO2max), exercise intensity II (45%VO2max), exercise intensity III (60%VO2max) based on maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max)- wearing fire suit (helmet, boots, air respirator) in treadmill and took a rest. The result of study shows that the temperature in the suit elevated during stabilization period after each exercise intensity, humidity elevated as exercise intensity increased, perspiration elevated as exercise intensity increased. This study indirectly ascertained the fire suit's physiological change in fire fighters during field activities.

화재가 발생하면 효율적인 화재 진압을 위하여 소방관은 화점 정보를 포함한 화재 관련 정보가 필요하다. 그러나 기존의 화재 감지 시스템은 현장의 소방관에게 화재 정보를 시각적으로 전달하지 못하는 문제가 있다. 이 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위하여 클라우드 서버를 이용한 화점 표출 시스템을 제안한다. 제안한 시스템에서 각 건물에 설치된 센서들은 온도 및 가스 정보를 수집하고 무선 네트워크를 통하여 클라우드 데이터베이스에 저장한다. 현장의 소방관을 위하여 클라우드 데이터베이스에 저장된 특정 건물의 도면과 함께 화점 데이터의 상세와 시간에 따른 이력을 스마트 기기에 표출한다.
