Under the Act amended on August 4, 2011, a special fire-fighting investigation was conducted by the relevant person (owner, manager, oil refineries), and the responsibility was also given to the relevant person. Instead of directly entering all existing fire-fighting targets and investigating the maintenance and management status of fire-fighting facilities, the fire-fighting agency selects and visits some targets every year, checks the maintenance and management status of fire-fighting facilities, corrects them, and imposes fines, etc. Reasons for the introduction of the system were the establishment of a private autonomous correction system by strengthening the responsibility of officials, lack of firefighting professionals, possible corruption due to frequent public contact, and responsibility of fire agencies. However, many problems arose even after the introduction of a special fire investigation system. A special fire investigation, one of the fire safety systems, checks whether related public officials and especially fire officials are properly installed, maintained and managed in accordance with relevant laws. Special firefighting investigations were introduced as firefighting inspections at the time the firefighting law was enacted in 1958, and have undergone a revised process more than 30 times until recently. Firefighting Facility Installation, Maintenance and Safety Management Act", the existing firefighting inspection was changed to a special firefighting investigation and accepted. At the time of enactment of the Fire Service Act in 1958, a special firefighting investigation was introduced as a firefighting inspection, and until recently, more than 30 revisions have been made. In 2003, as the existing fire fighting system was divided into four laws, it was approved by changing the existing fire fighting inspection to a special fire fighting investigation in the "Fire Fighting Facility Installation, Maintenance and Safety Management Act".

This study aimed to provide an empirical analysis of the effect of preventive fire administration (PVFA) and prepared fire administration (PPFA) on response fire administration (RPFA) in fire service organizations in Korea. To this end, panel data was collected from 16 metropolitan councils from the period of 2008 to 2018 and statistically analyzed using PVFA, PPFA, and RPFA. The independent variables were PVFA and PPFA, while the dependent variable was RPFA. The analysis of the current situation of the specific target for firefighting (STFF), public use facilities, proof of completion of safety families for public use facilities, and special fire inspection were sub-variables of PVFA. Fire safety education (FSE) and the mobilization for fire suppression (MFS) were sub-variables of PPFA and RPFA, respectively. In the results, STFF and FSE had a significant positive influence on the MFS. This study will contribute to the basic research regarding the investigation of the effectivity of fire service organizations in Korea.

This study quantitatively analyzed the fire risk of buildings by use nationwide, fire occurrence, and the statistical data of buildings by use. Fire incidents and buildings' statistics from the past 10 years (2008-2017) were used and classified as "Building Laws" and "Enforcement Decree of the Act on the Installation, Maintenance, and Safety of Fire Facilities" to be used for the relative assessment under the Natural Breaks as a risk matrix. In addition, after conducting risk assessment using 2018 fire occurrence data, we compared and analyzed the same with past 10 years' data. The results showed that most facilities had similar risk grades, except for the results of reduced risk levels from IV to II in recreational facilities, confirming the past and present data correlations as valid. Hence, the classification method is deemed appropriate. Through the results, the fire risk assessment of buildings by use nationwide are presented as a reference for fire safety.

Because the fire service demands are increasing and forms are diversified, the first thing you must do is to make up the fire service budget to keep fire service power sufficiently. Such budget allocation leads to supply enough fire service people want and results in social welfare satisfaction. If the budget of fire service is not enough to meet with its power, sufficient security of the fire fighters would be impossible. Also, when the urgent disasters occur, the government cannot cope with them effectively. In fact, loss of many lives and properties took place in some cities and kuns because of that. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of fire service budget for fire service force. To do this, this study reviews fire service budget, fire service force. And this study sets up three hypotheses based on the theoretical backgrounds and the past research. The statistical method used for the verification of hypotheses is multiple regression analysis. The analysis showed that fire service budget per head variable was positive significant, fire service budget ratio variable was not significant. Also, public facilities tax variable was negative significant. Therefore, the analysis showed that public facilities tax couldn't fill the role as a earmarked tax.

The number of fires in the Korean distribution warehouse increased by about 350 from 1,070 in 2014 to 1,416 in 2020. In addition, the fire load increases with the scale of the distribution warehouse, and even if the automatic sprinkler operates, there is a limit to the direct intrusion of the water source into the ignition source, and the detector is often installed on a high ceiling. The sensing time is often delayed. In order to improve the fire safety of such distribution warehouses, the US NFPA stipulates in detail the contents related to the facility, such as sprinkler water discharge standards, rack-type warehouse installation height restrictions, and regulations on collection and equipment. However, in Japan, the goods loaded inside the distribution warehouse are not classified in detail, and it is considered that the fire safety for the distribution warehouse is low due to the relaxation regulations of the fire prevention section. Therefore, in this study, common problems are classified into material, spatial, and safety management characteristics through the cases of distribution warehouse fires that occurred in Korea and abroad, and the problems related to distribution warehouses in Korea and abroad are compared and analyzed. And present basic materials for improving the life safety standards of future distribution warehouse facilities.

Korean railroad company is continuously improving the service for the disabled. They also install and reform many facilities for them. However, They didn't consider the egress of the disabled when fire occurred until today. At present, fire hazard analysis and risk assessment are introduced into Korea regulation for improving fire safety performance of train car and railroad facilities. Fire safety evaluation for the railroad conducted in Korea didn't generally consider the disabled. In the present situation, the study for the egress of the disabled in train car was needed. The egress experiment was conducted to measure the movement speed of the disabled who didn't walk or walk very slow.
