The importance of the firefighting education & Training is being magnified in order to enhance and strengthen a firefighters' ability and to reduce the firefighters' fatality and casualty. Therefore, It is needed to expand the facilities. In this study, with a comparative analysis of the global firefighting education & training facilities for fire suppression, we try to present the necessity and the basic contents of the establishing the installation criteria for the domestic firefighting education & training facilities. It has to contain specific purpose of the training and minimum standards for the structures with a guarantee of an international level. Naturally, the top priority is a safety of trainees and trainers. And, it should pay attention to a higher effectivity of the training course with a active reflection of the standard operation procedures' scenarios. Simultaneously, by securing a similarity and a compatibility to the other standards, it must maintain the balance of a whole standard.

The primary purpose of this study was to analyze assessment factors by identifying and prioritizing live fire shooting area requirements using the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) technique. Derived assessment factors for candidate sites were divided into six categories. Of these, four categories (base-to-range distance, weapon danger area, range terrain, and size) were in the realm of physical geography while the remaining two (land use and proximity to habitation) fell under the general heading of human geography. A case study was also conducted to select several alternative firing ranges using derived factors. The optimal location was analyzed by evaluating the candidate site using each assessment factor. As a result, it was found that assessment factors applying to GIS (Geographic Information System) were able to effectively analyze a suitable location for relocation of the focal training facility, taking into consideration public-safety issues, training requirements, and residents' past and likely future complaints. Through this process, it can prevent the waste of time and effort in determining an optimal location for a live fire shooing range.
