Abstract

As the wildfires around the world has increased and the number of wildfires occurring outside of the wildfire period has increased, they are becoming more common throughout the year. In Korea, a total of 618 wildfires occurred during the first half of 2022, of which 11 were large-scale wildfires, which increased the risk of forest fires. In this study, the Korea forest firefighting was reviewed, problems were sought based on the case of the U. S. The U. S. Forest Firefighter divides its work into five areas by subdividing and specializing it, and the suppresion capability and strategic system to prepare for the next season. However, unlike the special purpose of the establishment, the Korea forest firefighter is operated inefficiently because it is put into general forest management(disease and insect control, etc.) forest fire off-season. In order to improve these problems, it is necessary not only to the treatment improvement of firefighters, but also to segment and specialize the work, and to prepare a system by various education and training at the national level.
