ABSTRACT

Purpose: At the moment fire stations and 119 safety centers are being constructed in Korea, these make it better to respond and prepare current rising risks, and play rolls of community center for safety and health. However, they roll out under degree of dispatch golden time, and cancer incidence rates of firefighter are higher than ordinary people’s. This study has investigated the space diagram, space standard and functional relationship performances focusing on rolling out area and return area known as apparatus bay and apparatus bay support. Methods: Design Standards Guidelines for fire department and station have been studied with prompt dispatch, post-mission safe environment maintenance. Results: The first one is that apparatus bay is adjacent to turnout gear room and EMS. The second one is that apparatus bay also is adjacent to bay support area for decontamination. The third one is that decontamination room, air room, general storage, supply storage, equipment storage, EMS disinfection room and storage are designed to be adequate space, clean and tidy, visible and accessible, safe and functional. Layout of red, yellow and green zone are arranged from dirty, transitional and clean zone. Implications: In the fire station designing, it is necessary to be functional relationship adjacency and decontamination area in order to swift dispatch and safe environment.
