본 연구는 고령화 사회에서 소방인력 활용 및 서비스 증대에 목적이 있다. 지속적인 생활수준 향상과 의료기술의 발달로 노인인구 비율이 높아져 고령화가 빠르게 진행됨에 따라 각종 재난으로부터 안전을 책임지고 있는 소방이 재해약자의 입장에서 종합적이고 체계적으로 관계부서와 연계하여 재해약자의 정확한 현황을 파악함과 동시에 신속한 출동은 물론 적절한 응급조치가 실시될 수 있도록 하여야 할 것이다. 그러기 위해서는 특정대상물위주의 정책에서 수요중심의 정책으로 전환하여 노인들의 생활 안전 교육과 주택안전의 종합적인 대책들이 강구되어야 한다. 또한 근대적 홍보방법에서 벗어서 IT강국의 위용을 활용한 홍보를 하는 등 119서비스 확대로 노인들의 편안하고 안락한 노후생활을 위한 소방서비스를 제공하여야 한다. 고령화 사회에서 노인인구에 대한 고찰이야말로 선진소방으로 가는 최선의 방법이다.
