In this study, it is analyzed comparing the difference between the major metropolitans in the world, which based on the assumption by increasing the number of fire officials will reduce the number of fires in the result of fire prevention activities as fire inspections. Also over the past 25 years, “if urban expansion and population has been increased in the metropolitans, it must be increased the number of fires in Korea and foreign cities”, as expected. Found in this analysis, even though the population had increased, the number of fires in the metropolitans of the world had not increased or rather decreased. But the premise with the hypothesis differently in spite of the cities' population have increased, it was founded that the number of fires have decreased despite reduced the number of fire officers in foreign cities. However, considering to increase the number of fire officers in order to reduce the fires, achieving the reduction of fires, based on scientific research and systematic safety management, will be cost-effective fire-reduction policies.
