Various studies have been conducted to minimize property damage and casualties caused by fire accidents, which occurover 40,000 times annually on average. The research papers published in the Fire Science and Engineering journal indexedin the Korea Citation Index and the Fire Technology journal indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded databases overthe last 10 years were analyzed utilizing text-mining techniques. Similar research papers published these two journals wereexplored and significant differences in perceptions were identified. Recently, the proportion of studies on “Wild-Urban-Interface (WUI) fire” and “Battery fire” published in the Fire Technology journal has increased; however, “Firefighterorganization” related research papers are being actively published in the Fire Science and Engineering journal. Aquantitative analysis of the studies on fire incidents can provide significant information on developing new policies essentialto reducing fire damage.
