Abstract
Depending on the type of combustion, several harmful substances are generated in a fire scene. Most of the harmful substances generated contain toxic substances that adversely affect a fireman’s health. Thus, a fireman’s health and life are risked very frequently due to the unsafe job environment. Particularly, there are cases when firemen are called for fire investigation after the extinction of fire without wearing a respiratory protector for work convenience. Thus, without appropriate protection, they are exposed to dangerous chemical substances which is a serious problem. Hence, this study tries to understand the work problems of fire investigators through a questionnaire survey, and the performance of the equipment needed for the fire investigation process has been examined. This study aims to establish the equipment development direction for improving the functionality of the respiratory protectors and communication devices used by fire investigators.
