The number of high-rise buildings already constructed and/or being constructed is getting increased both domestically and internationally, for example, Lotte World 2 in Seoul and Taipei 101 in Taiwan, respectively. Maintenances of those skyscrapers, especially in fire-fighting safety, would be different from those of conventional buildings and are one of keen issues. In this study, the features of risks in aspects of fire-fighting safety for the buildings are investigated and the corresponding fire safety measures are proposed to prevent the disasters and to minimize the personal and property damages from it. The proposals include the specialization in self fire-fighting managements, the realization of self fire-fighting maintenance, the establishment of the integrated fire-fighting system, and the correction of inconsistencies in related laws on fire-fighting safety.

Frequent occurrences of a fire cause tremendous loss of human lives and their property. Recently, in order to cope with such catastrophic accidents, researches on fire-fighting robots are carried out in developed countries. Under the dangerous situations, it is sometimes impossible for fire-fighting men to access the firing place because of explosive materials, smoke, high temperature and so on. In such an environment, fire-fighting robots can be useful to extinguish the fire. It is usually very dangerous place where fire-fighting robots operate. Hence, these robots should be controlled by remote users who are for away from the firing place exploiting remote communication systems. This paper considers the communication systems between fire-fighting robots and remote users. The communication systems consist of two parts; digital packet communication systems and analog image communication systems. Digital packet communication systems transfer data packets in order to control fire-fighting robots and to check the state of the fire-fighting robots. Remote users watch the video around the fire-fighting robots by exploiting the analog image communication systems. In the future, the more prosperous the commercial communication network systems will be, the more evolved the communication systems for fire-fighting robots are.
