Difficult to reach within the golden time for suppression
Need to deploy fire engines at key locations
Experts emphasize the need to identify vulnerable locations and place fire extinguishing equipment, such as fire engines and firefighting supplies, nearby, taking into account the geographical and topographical characteristics of Gangnam, which is vulnerable to fires. According to the results of the “Study on Predicting Fire-Prone Areas in Seoul and Optimizing Firefighting Capacity” released in April this year, Nonhyeon-dong, where crowds gather, is more than 1.5 km away from the fire station and 119 Safety Center. As a result, when the road network reflecting spatial layout and road characteristics was analyzed, it was found that most buildings would be difficult to reach within five minutes, which is the golden time for fire suppression.
Kang Wan-mo, a professor at the Department of Forest Environment System at Kookmin University, and Lim Do-hyuk, a master's student at the Department of Forest Resources at Kookmin University, who participated in the study, said, “The spatial characteristics of Gangnam-gu, which is densely populated with multi-use establishments such as restaurants and commercial buildings, are highly correlated with the frequency of fires.” They added, “In order to increase the rate of reaching within the golden time in the event of a fire, it is necessary to place fire engines close to key points in consideration of building characteristics, network analysis, and floating population by time of day.”
Professor Kang said, “Gangnam has only 65 emergency fire extinguishing devices, including fire hoses and firefighting equipment, installed as of November 2021, which is lower than the other 25 boroughs.” He added, “There is a need to install emergency fire extinguishing devices at key vulnerable points to minimize damage and respond to fires at an early stage.”
Dr. Hwang Jong-ah, a researcher at the SH Institute of Urban Studies, said, “Gangnam is a planned city from the 1970s and 1980s, but underground facilities were not fully planned at the time.” “The first priority is to use artificial intelligence (AI) technology to understand the level of aging of buildings and the status of facilities such as underground and medical facilities.”
