Forest fire has a number of variables and since the effects of wind fields are bigger than any other variables, it is essential to know wind direction and velocity for the forest fire extinguishing techniques and the prediction of fire spread. With regards to the local area that has a high chance of forest fire, the data from meteorological observatory in the area is used for the estimation of wind velocity. It is relatively easy to obtain automatic weather station (AWS) data which are available for the whole nation. There is a chance that the data from the weather station may be different with the actual data at the mountain areas. In this study simply shaped hills (Sae-byeol hill of Jeju Island and port Ma-geum in An-myeon Island in the sea side) were selected as the experimental locations to minimize the distortion of the wind field by the adjacent geographic features. Spot measurements and analysis of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for the given geographic features were conducted to examine and compare their consistency. As a conclusion It is possible to predict wind patterns in these simple locations.

Hydrocarbon fires and explosions in petrochemical plants have occurred repeatedly every year. But domestic law of fire protection system is insufficient for the worst case scenario. In this study, we analyzed domestic and foreign standards of fire protection system in petrochemical plants and surveyed firefighting equipment of 32 petrochemical plants in ulsan petrochemical complex. Finally, it is necessary to design fire water supply based on the worst case scenario in petrochemical plants and firefighting equipment such as fixed water spray system, elevated monitor nozzle, water curtain, large amount foam monitor system should be installed for the worst case scenario in petrochemical plants.

우리나라에서는 산림화재가 발생하면 산림청이 주관하여 지방자치단체와 산림청 지방기관의 직원들을 동원하여 통합진압대를 구성하여 산불진화활동에 나선다. 이 때 산림청은 산불진화에 있어 통합지휘권을 갖고 산불현장에 출동한 지자체 소속 공무원이나 산불감시요원 및 각종 진압요원, 출동한 소방공무원 등을 현장 지휘하는 구조로 운영되고 있다. 경기도 양평군에서 최근 5년 동안 발생했던 산불을 추적하여 산불의 발생에서 진압까지전 과정을 분석하였다. 일선에서 산불이 발생하면 주민들은 일상적으로 소방관서에 신고하고 있으며, 신고를 접한 소방관서는 즉각 출동하여 진화하고 마지막 잔불정리까지를 소방관서가 담당하고 있다. 소방관서에는 산불진화를 위한 예산지원이나 인력지원은 전무한 상태의 구조로 되어 있는 현재의 산불진화체계는 여러 문제점으로 인하여 산불의 효율적인 진화가 어렵고, 산불 발생 시 산불확대로 피해를 키우고 있다는 지적을 받고 있다. 이러한 산불진화체계의 제도적인 문제점을 파악하고 개선하여 산불진화의 최적화를 위한 개선책을 제시한다.

In Korea, the Seoul subway line 1 was opened in 1974 and the subway service is being operated in Seoul, Pusan, Daegu, Daejeon, and Inchon. The subway station is related to a underground shopping mall that was developed as complex spaces. According to the time of people's stay at the underground space, the necessity about the safety countermeasure of the underground space has been enlarged. Therefore the result of this study is t propose guidelines for improving the evacuation safety performance in underground subway stations.

Systems (RES) UTIS the roadside, and when the fire truck, fire engine installed in the terminal (OBE) to detect the location of the fire truck when the control signal at the intersection of quickly dispatch emergency vehicles quickly and safely through the intersection to beare. You should establish the effect of the system by the conjunction with UTIS system, emergency vehicles can be dispatched quickly to shorten the processing time of disaster, accidents incidents and protect the lives and property of the citizens.

Cultural assets of the country's history and cherish the living conditions of the people, conscious and cohesive crystals, and the pride of the hearts of the people as a haven. In the country worth preserving national treasure, bomulgeup, local cultural heritage as a major cultural property protection are. Cultural properties, etc. Most are wooden, is vulnerable to fire, and, moreover battling to far away from the city and due to the geographical conditions are very challenging aspects. The national cultural assets, such as the many temples, vows to fire one if the loss of a centuries-old cultural property is a big loss of national posterity to great shame is not. Still cultural assets and a large number of visitors have flocked temples. All of us to keep the look and feel of the cultural assets pleasure to conserve cultural assets preserved to ensure that fire prevention is always unmistakably bear in mind that sees.

Namsan road are taxis in the engine room fires (07/14/2011 18:05) in the tunnel, and the driver of the vehicle was 100 passenger car and more than 500 evacuated were disasters. Pole road vehicles within the tunnel if there is a fire tunnel fire occurred at a two-way evacuation difficult and rapid evacuation is difficult and mass casualties are concerned, the number of casualties is feared. In this study, by considering the problems and improve the Namsan 1,2,3 Tunnel In case of fire, the best disaster response is to come up with ways.

According to ' Monthly report of train accidents and incidents ' of KNR, 95 numbers of rolling stock fire accidents/incidents had happened during last five years(from 1999 to 2003). Among them, there have happened only one injured accident which happened at Whamyung station in 1999. But it is necessary to consider a countermeasure for fire accidents/incidents, because they have big risk which might produce a large scale damage and lots of injured persons as the Taegu subway fire accident last year. This paper analyzes the rolling stock fire accidents/incidents which have happened during last five years in KNR, and suggests their countermeasures.

This study aims to verify the impact of a metaverse-based safety education program on the fire safety awareness of elementary school students. Utilizing the National Fire Agency's 119 metaverse program, an educational program was implemented for two months, and the experimental group was examined using paired-sample t-tests, while comparisons with the control group were made using independent-sample t-tests. The results revealed statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups in the area of fire prevention. Although no statistically significant differences were observed over time within each group, the overall average scores for the entire class improved across all areas. Based on these findings, the effectiveness of metaverse-based safety education is suggested; however, a significant difference compared to traditional education was not detected. The study concludes by exploring implications for considerations in the implementation of metaverse safety education in the future.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the disaster response competencies of 119 emergency medical technicians (EMTs). Methods: The subjects of this study were 226 119 EMT's at the fire station located in G province. The questionnaire consisted of 5 sub-factors and 29 items for measuring disaster response competencies and the collected data were analyzed using SPSS program. Results: Disaster response competency comprising immediate response, patient triage, patient treatment, patient transport, and collaboration support were 3.48, 3.64, 3.52, 3.64, and 3.16, respectively. Advanced EMTs scored significantly higher in patient triage (p<.001), treatment (p<.001), and transport (p=.022) competency than basic EMTs. Conclusion: In order to improve disaster response competency, it is necessary not only to enhance individual ability but also to continue disaster management training with related organizations.
