After the fire in Grenfell, a special fire safety survey was conducted, and the spirit of building fire safety is increasing. However, as can be seen from the fact that more than 80 people were injured in the Ulsan residential fire in 2020, there are no cases of making it a life safety standard for buildings, and there is an urgent need to investigate this. In this research, we will investigate the five fires that occurred in Grenfell, England, derive the problems, and use them as basic data for establishing the safety standards for Korean-style human life in the future.

Recently, a building fire has occurred due to various influences. Accordingly, we are developing an public safety & security unmanned aerial vehicle for fire prevention and initial response to fire. The public safety & security unmanned aerial vehicle is used to grasp the traffic route to enter the fire engine in the event of a fire in a dense structure and to determine the scale of the fire and the area of danger of collapse around the fire site. In this study, an environmental test of the public safety & security unmanned aerial vehicle's heat resistance was performed in an environment simulating a fire scene.

Sparks cause most fire and explosion accidents in the manufacturing industry during hot work, which ignites surrounding combustible materials. Such incidents lead to high casualties due to suffocation from toxic gases and lack of evacuation. Therefore, the government recently enacted and revised 'The Occupational Safety and Health Act' to prevent fires and explosions at work sites, incorporating legal standards for fire observers, which are important in preventing accidents and the spread of fire during hot work. However, there are notable shortcomings in conducting professional cause analysis of these accidents and in aligning them with advanced foreign legal standards. Additionally, there is a lack of literature review reflecting the manufacturing industry characteristics. Despite the recent enactment and revision of legal standards, gathering sufficient opinions and professional reviews remains insufficient. To address these gaps, interviews were conducted with safety and health workers, analyzing recent fire and explosion causes in domestic manufacturing industries, and reviewing both domestic and international legal standards. Conclusively, proposed improvement measures were centered on the professionalization of fire observer education, enhancing their roles and authority realistically, and improving fire observer placement and operation standards. Consequently, additional 'Occupational Safety and Health Act' standards are necessary for fire observer education and defining the government's role. Second, precise legal standards outlining the role and authority of fire observers are required. Third tailored fire observer arrangements and management standards appropriate for varying work characteristics and company sizes are required. This study emphasizes the importance of supplementing relevant legal standards to prevent fire accidents in the manufacturing industry.

The purpose of this study was to test the effects of video-based fire safety education among college students on the students' fire safety knowledge and disaster safety awareness and competency. Improvements were found in fire safety knowledge (t = -3.24, p = 0.001), social disaster awareness (t = -2.25, p = 0.025), basic disaster awareness (t = -2.44, p = 0.015), and disaster safety capacity (t = -2.04, p = 0.043). The contents of safety-education materials should be continuously developed. Those materials should be provided to many people, and future research should test the longer-term effects of those educational interventions.

This study investigates fire-retardant performances and combustion/thermal characteristics of fire-retardant treated wood by comparing them with those of fire-retardant untreated wood from the expreimental resutls of cone calorimeter and thermo-gravimetric(TG) analyzer. Hazardousness of combustion product gases for fire-retardant treated wood and untreasted wood were also observed from the results of internal finish material incombustibility test according to the Korea standard code of KS F 2271. In this study, we also tried to improve the fire retardant performance of wood by applying fire-retardant chemical composites, and to secure the fire safety performance in buildings. Red pine (Pinus densiflora) was selected as a test specimen because it is mostly used as a building material in Korea. Fire retardant chemical composites (FRCs) were prepared by mixing boron, phosphorous, and nitrogen species and treated by press-impregnation method. Water-based FRCs were composed of 3% boric acid($H_3BO_3$), 3% borax decahydrate($Na_2B_4O_7$), 8% ammonium carbonate($(NH_4)_2CO_3$), diammonium phosphate ($(NH_4)_2HPO_4$) varied from 10-30% and potassium carbonate($K_2CO_3$) varied from 10-30%. From the test results of cone calorimeter, TG analysis and gas hazard assessments, newly proposed were the optimal composition and production methods of FRCs which can sufficiently meet fire-retardant level 3 based on Korea law of construction. Thus, the FRCs, developed in this study, are anticipated to contribute to the improvement of fire safety and widespread of usage in wood as building materials.

산업의 발전에 따라 사회양상도 복잡 다양하게 변화하여 오고 생활의 편리함도 늘어났지만, 그에 따른 화재위험요인도 함께 증가하고 있다. 최근 국내 건축물 환경도 초고층화 인텔리전트(Intelligent)화 되어가면서 화재로 인한 인적 물적 손실은 계속적으로 증가하고 있어 과거보다 화재발생을 줄일 수 있는 제도적 장치를 보완하여야 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 특정소방대상물 관리제도에 대한 전반적인 운영 실태와 문제점을 도출하여 특정소방대상물의 방화관리 등급체계 개선방안을 제시하는데 있다. 개선방안으로는 화재 위험성 평가제도 도입, 가칭 "소방안전공사"의 신설, 특정소방대상물 방화관리등급 재분류, 초고층 및 지하심층 건축물에 방화관리자 신설 등이다.

This paper presents development of a classification system for an electrical fire investigation. In order to reduce an electrical fires and establish detailed prevention plans, the collection of an electrical fire causes and base data are very important. Based on this data, a new classification system for an electrical fire investigation was developed and the direction to the classification system was suggested by fundamental analysis. All of the collected information is analyzed by bottom-up method. Criteria items which based on base data were categorized to classify items. The classification of items were found out as follows : basic condition fire scene condition, fire sign, fire cause. Particularly, the fire cause category is classified. A new developed classification system for an electrical fire investigation will be used to analyse electrical fires easily and efficiently.

급격한 경제발전과 더불어 전기로 인한 화재가 발생하면 막대한 인명과 재산피해가 발생하여 국가적으로 크나큰 손실이 아닐 수 없다. 이러한 전기화재를 예방하기 위해서는 원인과 장소별 등으로 분류된 세부적인 통계를 생산하고 정확한 화재원인을 규명하여 화재예방 자료로 활용하는 것이 가장 근본적인 대책이라 할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 최근 10년간 화재발생 현황 및 2006년 전기화재 원인별, 장소별, 월별로 분석하였고 또한, 2005년 전기화재 8,554건에 대하여 전국의 소방서를 우리공사 직원이 직접 방문하여 심층적이고 전문적인 전기화재 실태조사를 실시하였다. 따라서 이번 논문이 전기화재를 예방하는 자료로 활용되고 정확한 화재통계 생산에 디딤돌이 되었으면 하는 바람으로 제시하였다.

Building become higher. larger and more complex than ever before, showing abrupt changes in building structures. forms and mechanical systems. Likewise hazads of fire and the scale of fire losses become more and more greater. Therefore. considerations for fire safety take up great portion of the building design process. In this study, problems of high-rise building fires and basic directions for fire safety of high-rise building design were studied through the statistical analysis of 138 fire cases. The results of this study are summarized as follows : ·Most of the fires in high-rise building occur on the low floors and the fire frequencies are very low on the upper floors. Fire casualties are liable to be more on the upper floors than on tile floor of fire origin. ·The important causes of evacuation failures were analyzed as being late in escape and lack of stairwell enclosures. ·The main cause of vertical fire spread is lack of stairwell enclosures. However, the fire spreads mainly through the enterior windows in apartment houses. The combustible materials in buildings act on as the major factors of horizontal fire spread and the improper fire doors play role of another the critical causes. ·The basic directions for fire safety of high-rise building design put much stress firstly on the compartmentation of the buildings effectively performing the provision of safe escape routes and the safe refuse places in buildings.
