Abstract
In fire departments with a high number of false fire dispatches, firefighters’ work stress is expected to be high because of excessive dispatch work. Therefore, after analyzing the spatial clustering pattern of the study area, we examined whether the opening and deployment of fire departments in the area was efficient and appropriate. Global Moran’s I analysis confirmed that there was spatial autocorrelation between the Gyeongsangbuk-do regions. Through local Moran’s I and hotspot (Getis-Ord’s Gi*) analysis, regions with high and low frequencies of fire misreporting were derived. Examination of the opening and deployment of firefighters in the region suggested that regions with a high average number of dispatches to the 119 Safety Center need to increase the number of firefighters, and that regions where the 119 Safety Center is concentrated should prepare measures to disperse firefighting forces to the surrounding regions.
