A Study on Mistaken Dispatch Reduction Measures due to Unwanted Fire Alarms

Abstract

In the event of a fire, it is important to arrive within 5 min and fully utilize the “golden time”. However, it is necessary to find a fundamental reduction plan for this purpose, as mistaken dispatch due to unwanted fire alarms do occur. Therefore, we conducted a survey on statistics and fact-finding related to unwanted fire alarms, as well as a survey on the perception of fire officials regarding unwanted fire alarms. As a result, problems include mixed use of people who can be dispatched due to unwanted fire alarms from the fire detection systems and cases of misreporting via phone, issues of role sharing among stakeholders of the fire target, and maintenance and management issues such as aging of equipment, And the statistical system was not established. To reduce this, organization of legal terminology, cooperation among stakeholders, designation of durability standards, and development of the dispatch report about unwanted fire alarms.
