Development of Training Scenario Content for On-Site Commanders through Analysis of Response Failure Factors

Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop training content to strengthen the response capabilities of on-site commanders in actual fire sites. By analyzing past fire cases with insufficient fire responses during firefighting activities, it was determined that analyzing the causes through fire investigations and their corresponding responses is an important step. In addition, although identical fire occurrence situations cannot be reproduced, the causes and responses could be categorized similarly. In this study, the various problems occurring frequently during firefighting activities and factors affecting the response failures were analyzed according to the main causes of fires by building type. Thus, various training scenarios were developed and applied based on the above considerations.
