Abstract

In this study, tests were conducted to establish a fire engine of relay waterproof and utilization in order to maintain the pressure in a situation that require high-pressure water-resistant such as a high-rise building fire, etc. As a result of test on the change of a relay waterproof pressure, the measurement result with the hydrant intake of a fire engine opened has reduced approximately 20 % compared to the measurement result with the hydrant intake closed. Similar efficiency showed in the test result that change the pressure of 2 fire engines respectively to use them more efficiently at a fire fighting activity site. A fire engine operation and utilization is proposed based on this study result in order to cope effectively with a fire site requiring high-pressure stream in a high-rise building fire, etc. by using a fire engine held at present because there is no fire pump with high-pressure stream ability arranged at the fire station and there is no regulation on high-pressure fire-fighting pumps in a type approval and verification technology criterion for a fire engine.

본 연구에서는 초고층 건물 화재 등 고압방수가 필요한 상황에서 방수압력을 유지하기 위하여 소방펌프차의 중계방수방법과 활용방안을 정립하고자 시험을 실시하였다. 중계 방수압력의 변화에 대하여 시험결과 소방펌프차의 방수구를 개방하고 측정하였을 경우 방수구를 폐쇄한 상태에서 측정한 결과보다 약 20 %가 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 소방활동 현장에서 보다 더 효율적으로 활용하기 위하여 소방펌프차 2대의 압력을 각각 변화시키면서 시험한 결과에서도 비슷한 효율이 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다. 현재 고압 방수능력이 있는 소방펌프차가 소방서에 배치되어 있지 않고 소방펌프의 형식승인 및 검정기술기준에서도 고압 소방펌프에 대한 규정이 없기 때문에 현재 보유하고 있는 소방차를 활용하여 초고층 화재 등 고압방수의 필요성이 있는 화재현장에 효과적으로 대응하고자 본 연구 결과를 토대로 소방차량 운영 및 활용방안을 제안한다.
