Today, the population of increasing cities is causing the risk of fire to increase. In Korea, the number of 441,030 fires occurred in the last 10 years from 2008 to 2017. Moreover, fires in buildings account for more than 62% of the total disasters in Korea, excluding traffic accidents. Therefore, to reduce fire risk in buildings, the "National Fire Agency" provides fire regulations such as the "Framework Act on Fire Services" and the "Act on Fire Prevention and Installation, Maintenance, and Safety Control of Fire-Fighting Systems." However, these laws and previous research were limited to specific areas, specific years, and specific applications, with fire risks being analyzed through simple classifications of fire occurrence cases or casualties. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the fire status of building usage quantitatively by using national statistical data from the last six years. Moreover, it will also provide basic data for fire policy in Korea.
