요약

본 연구에서는 제조물 관련 화재조사의 실태분석 및 개선방안을 도출하였다. 연구결과, 화재조사현장에서 조종자 역할을 하는 주체가 불분명하고, 화재피해이재민의 권익보호를 위한 제도적 장치가 부족하며, 소방의 화재감정기관 부재로 화재원인 도출에 한계가 있고, 제조물회사의 초기대응이 소극적인 것으로 나타났다. 개선방안으로는 소방이 화재조사현장에서 조종자 역할을 할 수 있는 제도의 도입, '민간 화재조사전문가' 제도의 도입, 소방의 화재감정기관 및 연구소의 설립.운영, 소방과 제조물회사와의 네트워크 구성 등이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

Abstract

In this research paper, the analysis, and improvement, of conditions of fire investigation related to products were derived. The results of the research showed that the main entity that plays the role of coordinator on the scene of fire investigation is unclear, systematic devices to protect the rights and interests of fire victims are inadequate, there are limitations in deriving the cause of fire due to the lack of fire appraisal organizations in fire departments, and the product companies are passive in their initial actions. As for improvement measures, it was found that the adoption of the system in which fire departments can play the role of mediator on the scene of fire investigation, the establishment and operation of fire appraisal organizations and research institutes in fire departments, and the establishment of network between fire departments and product companies are needed.
