“…In South Korea, firefighting organizations are part of the national infrastructure for initial response during disasters and play a key role in disaster response by minimizing damage through prompt dispatch and efficient field activities, such as emergency care and on-scene command control [1]. Disasters can occur regardless of time or place and typically not only cause severe injuries to people and damage infrastructure but also pose a danger to poorly maintained surroundings that require prompt emergency care with insufficient resources.…”

a b s t r a c tPurpose: This study explored the factors influencing disaster response competency, that is, demographic and disaster-related characteristics, personal disaster (household and workplace) preparedness, disaster risk perception, and self-efficacy in handling disasters among emergency medical technicians in South Korea. Methods: The study follows a descriptive, cross-sectional design and uses a self-reported questionnaire. Emergency medical technicians, amounting to 1,020 in all, currently working in firefighting organizations from four South Korean cities (Busan, Daegu, Daejeon, and Ulsan) participated in the study. Results: Disaster risk perception, self-efficacy for disaster, participation experience in disaster education/ training, and personal disaster (household and workplace) preparedness predicted the disaster response competency of emergency medical technicians in South Korea. Conclusion: There is a need for an antidisaster program to enhance the disaster risk perception, selfefficacy, personal disaster (household and workplace) preparedness, and the disaster education/ training participation rate toward enhancing disaster response competency of emergency medical technicians in South Korea.

“…A few Korean researchers have examined Korean firefighters' emergency management in Korean language. In doing so, they have researched the topic via a local perspective (Bae et al, 2014). In other words, almost no study has rigorously delved into the Korean firefighters' fire emergency management via an international perspective.…”

Deadly fires have recently smashed Korea. The article has aimed to see how Korean firefighters have managed various fires for the paramount goal of emergency management. Qualitative content analysis has been used as a key method. Two patterns on fire emergency management have been analysed, such as firefighter-oriented pattern and people-oriented pattern. The former includes excessive political interests, obsessing about their own welfare, late decision on complicated issues, and the lack of flexible training and exercise, whereas the latter includes excessive risk interests, obsessing about people's welfare, appropriate decision on complicated issues, and the reliance on flexible training and exercise. The biggest finding is that Korea needs to transform the firefighter-oriented pattern into a people-oriented pattern soon. Similarly, other nations may use the transition as a criterion for reviewing their own systems. This article has approached the Korean topic more comprehensively than previous studies.
