Fire Agency Introduces Integrated Fire Safety Manual
Expectations for Increased Effectiveness of Fire Safety Management
The National Fire Agency announced on the 20th that it will improve the system so that fire safety managers can write various forms, including fire plans that they must prepare, into a single integrated fire safety manual (guideline) to enhance the work efficiency of fire safety managers.
Until now, there have been mixed contents regarding the fire plans, evacuation plans, and self-fire brigade operation plans that fire safety managers must prepare, leading to opinions that the forms and preparation methods should be separately distinguished. Additionally, there have been opinions that fire plans should be prepared reflecting not only the scale of fire safety management objects (special grade, grades 1, 2, and 3) but also the building’s use and characteristics.
Accordingly, as part of proactive administration, the National Fire Agency plans to introduce an integrated fire safety manual that consolidates the preparation forms (fire plans, evacuation plans, self-fire brigade operation plans) into one and improve the fire plan forms to reflect the building use and characteristics of 30 types of special fire objects.
Furthermore, to improve the inefficiency of printing and storing in paper form, the agency will enable preparation and storage on the websites of the National Fire Agency and the Korea Fire Safety Institute to assist the convenience of fire safety managers and related personnel, and plans to improve the system so that fire stations can remotely support the preparation of fire plans.

Park Seong-yeol, Director of the Fire Prevention Division at the National Fire Agency, said, “The integrated fire safety manual for efficient fire safety management will practically help strengthen the fire prevention capabilities of fire safety managers,” and added, “We will actively improve the system to enable fire safety managers to effectively perform their duties in managing fire and evacuation facilities.”
