               消防據點部署及搶救設施所見 ( 上 )

               臺灣地處西太平洋颱風區,近年來往往造成重大生命財產損失,尤以2008年以來的卡
               玫基颱風、鳳凰颱風、辛樂克颱風、象神颱風、納莉颱風、莫拉克颱風等,對原住民
               族部落及山區造成多處嚴重道路坍方,近千人滯留山區;且加上山區地形坡度陡峭、
               地質脆弱和水流湍急等不利於土體安定的條件,以致於颱風豪雨後往往伴隨著水災、
               走山、崩塌、土石流、洪水災害等,嚴重威脅受災區居民及遊客生命財產安全;同時
               囿於各縣市政府消防局人力及經費有限,無法普遍設置消防分隊情況下,針對偏遠地
               區消防據點如何有效提升其救災能量及效能,係當前政府一大課題。
               查我國人文經濟文化及相關消防制度與日本類似,且針對偏遠或離島地區,日本亦有
               完整規劃及經驗,堪為我國經驗擷取與考察對象。前有幸於2012年7月奉派前往日本
               鹿兒島縣考察當地消防救災據點,藉由瞭解日本運作模式,俾做為未來偏遠地區消防
               據點部屬及設施運作之參考。


               Taiwan is located within a typhoon zone of the west Pacific. As a result,
               the island has been subjected to many typhoons that have resulted in a
               significant loss of life and property, particularly since 2008.  Examples of
               this include the typhoons Kalmaegi, Fung-wong, Sinlaku, Xangsane, Nari,
               and Morakot.  Massive landslides caused by these typhoons hit mountain
               regions and Aboriginal tribes, leaving thousands to be stranded in the
               mountains. In addition, when steep slopes, fragile geological conditions,
               water  rapids,  and  other  unstable  soil  conditions  are  hit  by  floods,
               landslides, collapses, and mudslides that often follow heavy rain, serious
               threats to the lives and properties of local residents and tourists occur.
               At the same time, firefighting squads are unable to have an extensive
               setup due to the limited funding and manpower of their respective fire
               departments. Under these conditions, how can we effectively enhance
               the capabilities and efficiency of disaster relief efforts for firefighting
               locations  in  remote  areas? This  is  a  very  important  issue  facing  the
               current government.
               The economy, culture, and firefighting mechanisms of Taiwan are quite
               similar to those of Japan. Japan employs comprehensive planning and
               experience for remote or outlying islands that would serve as case studies
               for Taiwan  to  examine.  In  July  2012,  I  was  deployed  to  Kagoshima
               Prefecture in Japan to visit the local fire relief strongholds. Understanding
               the operation methods in Japan will serve as a reference for setting up fire
               relief efforts and facility operations in remote areas.
