Necessity of fire statistics and analysis using fire incident database-Japanese case

Abstract

If we write fire incident in Chinese characters, we write like this. (Figure 2-1-3) Fire is this one. This side Chinese character, Huo Tzai [pho tzai], we say it in Chinese. But the Tzai is an incident. This character can be divided into two parts. The top part is flood. The bottom part is fire. This Chinese character represents disaster. The disaster caused by the fire is called fire incident. Fire is not limited to the fire accidents. But in many occasions, fire is used. Photo 2-1-1 Prof. Sekizawa
