Statistics from the Fire Department illustrate that over the last five years, the rates for fire enforcement arriving within the Golden Time is on average only 60 %, and this is not a high enough safety rate. Golden Time has to be secured because it is directly related to saving lives, but at present, it is not working well. Fire engines would be capable of traveling within the Golden Time based on the following three factors: securing the fire engines, securing the emergency route, and the limitations of the 119 system. This research is based on the standards of advanced overseas countries such as the U.S., Japan, and Europe, and it examines the limitations of domestic standards and systems in securing Golden Time. Additionally, this research suggests the problems that exist and develops specific solutions.
Traditional fire-fighting management have limit a time and space for normal operation of fire-fighting facilities in the manufacturing plant of a large facility. Therefore, it has the need to develop a fire-fighting management system that reflects the characteristics of the manufacturing plant. The firefighting management system was for developping to manage the life span from the introduction of the facility to disposal and to systematically manage the facility status, inspection history, and failure history. This standardizes management work and manages them quantitatively. Thus, the factory manager can improve efficiency of work by allowing efficient maintenance of firefighting facilities.
The requirements for exterior finishing materials have been substantially established recently. After a fire at an apartment building in Uijeongbu City, fire safety requirements for exterior finishing materials used in the buildings that have six and more stories or are taller than 22 meters were specified in 2015, and three and more stories or are taller than 9 meters were specified in 2019. However, the buildings built before that may not accomplish the safety requirements and thus have fire safety problem. This study suggests a method for partially reinforcing the Exterior Insulation Finishing System (EIFS) of buildings to enhance the fire safety. EIFS specimens whose walls on the pilotis were reinforced with a mineral insulation material, were tested in accordance with BS 8414-1. The result showed that fire spread was delayed more than 9 min when compared with an EIFS specimen without reinforcement.
The flammable exterior material installed on the outer wall of a piloti structure is a major cause of fire spread because such fires are transferred in a short time, and they cannot be extinguished after ignition. An external insulation system is composed of various materials; hence, individual fire safety must be secured for each component. This study performed the cone calorimeter and real-scale fire tests of BS 8414 for the adhesives used in construction (e.g., adiabatic system). The heat release rate for the organic adhesive was 17.5 MJ/m 2 , while that for the inorganic adhesive was 14.0 MJ/m 2. The obtained results showed that only the inorganic adhesive passed the tests.
The leisure life pattern of people is changing to a familial and enthusiastic way that eventually develops the camping culture. Thus, the number of campers and the size of camping market have been dramatically increased due to significant expansion of camping people. However, many camp grounds and facilities are operating without a proper registration by government rules and regulations. In addition, many of electronic and gas equipment and tools are not used in a safe way and in a safety regulatory boundary. Therefore, campers at the camping ground is situated in a fire and safety hazard. In addition, there is limitation in rules and regulations associated with camping ground safety and fire. This study analyzed the fire and hazard guidelines and rules regulations of developed countries of campground and compared them to the current situation in South Korea. Therefore, this study is to develop a safety and fire hazard guidelines and rules and regulations related to camp ground operation, gas and electronic equipment operation and management. The study will eventually reduce the future fire and safety incidents in a campground in South Korea.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
