| Summary: | Fire is one of the urban disasters that cannot be avoided. As the types of built
environments become increasingly varied, many new safety challenges arise with
the development of today's built environment. This of course increases the risk of
fire and creates unique fire protection challenges in urban areas. Therefore, it is
necessary to evaluate fire fighting performance that takes into account unique
urban factors. Fire fighting performance is defined as fire response time, fire
extinguishing time, and losses experienced due to fire. The aim of this research is
to investigate the interaction between population density, land function, residential
density, fire fighting infrastructure, and the dynamics of fire response in Surabaya
and their influence on fire fighting performance. This research uses secondary data
from the city government as well as other sources from news outlet, especially fire
incident data from 2018 to 2022, complemented by interviews with the Fire
Department, the Public Housing Department, and 112 Command Center which
were then analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis, spatial analysis,
comparative analysis, and content analysis methods. Research results show that the
achievement of response time in Surabaya is influenced by the skills of Command
Center 112 personnels in directing field officers, traffic management in
collaboration with Transportation Department (Dishub) so that the route taken by
firefighters faces no delays, as well as the optimal location of fire stations. The
response time of the City of Surabaya improves every year until it has now reached
100%. There is no spatial correlation between the location of districts with the
response times. It is known that the smaller the fire, the more often it occurs. In the
case of Surabaya, small fires occurred 53.34% (2,025 incidents), medium fires
44.04% (1,672 incidents), large fires 2% (76 incidents) and very large fires 0.6%
(23 incidents). Blackout times in the city of Surabaya widely vary. There is no
relationship between the frequency of fire incidents per district and the time to
extinguish fires per sub-district. Regarding land function, there are several areas
that need to be given more attention in terms of fire mitigation, namely areas that
have a lot of flammable materials and/or accommodate large numbers of people,
such as industrial areas, trade areas and residential areas that suffer the greatest
losses when fire occurs. |
