摘要

许多消防部门已将防火重点扩展到其他社区风险,如水安全、道路安全和青少年参与。然而,迄今为止,很少有研究重点关注这些更广泛的预防活动的经济和社会价值,以及它们是否是明智的资源投资。还需要进一步开展工作,以确定现有防火经济模型的可靠性。以下研究采用成本效益分析方法,对英格兰默西塞德郡消防部门开展的一系列预防活动进行了经济评估,这些活动主要针对意外住宅火灾、道路火灾、水上火灾和纵火相关事件,以及促进青少年参与。数据来源于公开资料以及对现有经济模型和消防服务记录的系统搜索。成本效益比率表明,预防性投资的经济价值分别是意外火灾和蓄意火灾投资的 5 倍和 21 倍。青少年参与活动的社会价值是灯塔项目和消防学员投资的 2 到 13 倍。研究结果对消防部门讨论如何为预防工作提供资源以应对社区风险,以及改进数据收集工作以建立活动的经济和社会价值模型具有重要意义。

Examining the cost-effectiveness of fire service prevention and youth engagement activities

Many fire services have expanded their fire prevention focus to include other community-based risks, such as water safety, road safety, and youth engagement. However, to date, little research focus has been directed to examining the economic and social value of these wider prevention activities and whether they represent a wise resource investment. Further work is also needed to establish the reliability of existing fire prevention economic models. The following study adopts a cost-benefit analysis approach to economically evaluate the range of prevention activities delivered by one fire service in England (Merseyside), which focus on accidental dwelling fires, road, water, and arson-related incidents, and promoting youth engagement. Data was accessed from open sources and a systematic search of existing economic models and fire service records. Cost-benefit ratios demonstrated that the economic value provided by prevention investment was five and 21 times the investment for accidental and deliberate fires. Social value provided by youth engagement activities ranged from two to 13 times the investment for the Beacon Project and Fire Cadets. Findings pose important implications for informing fire sector discussions regarding the resourcing of prevention to address community risks, and for improving data collection to robustly model the economic and social value of activities.

期刊介绍: Fire Safety Journal is the leading publication dealing with all aspects of fire safety engineering. Its scope is purposefully wide, as it is deemed important to encourage papers from all sources within this multidisciplinary subject, thus providing a forum for its further development as a distinct engineering discipline. This is an essential step towards gaining a status equal to that enjoyed by the other engineering disciplines.
