Abstract

This study investigated a car fire that broke out in the dashboard during driving and analyzed a fire cause and the party responsible for the fire. The black box and its auxiliary battery of the car were put after its purchase. A fire station investigator concluded that a fire cause was related with a black box auxiliary battery. This author dismantled the dashboard to investigate the fire cause and found that the fire was caused by a power steering module and not by the black box auxiliary battery. The findings were presented by evidence. It was also found that the responsibility of the fire rested with a car maker rather than with a car owner or a car service center putting the black box auxiliary battery. The investigation of the car fire case confirmed that the cause of a car fire should be judged by specific investigation including dismantlement and not be estimated by investigating appearances or prejudice without evidence.

이 논문에서는 자동차 구입 후 블랙박스와 블랙박스 보조배터리를 설치한 자동차에서 주행 중 대시보드 안에서 발생한 화재사례에 대해 조사하여 화재원인과 화재발생 책임소재 등을 분석하였다. 이 자동차 화재 사례에 대해 소방서의 화재조사관은 블랙박스 보조배터리와 관련되어 화재가 발생한 것이라고 조사하였는데, 저자가 대시보드 등을 분해하여 구체적으로 조사한 결과 물증을 제시하여 블랙박스 보조배터리와는 관련이 없는 파워스티어링 모듈로 인해 화재가 발생한 것으로 분석하였다. 그리고 이 자동차 화재의 발생 책임이 차주나 블랙박스 보조배터리를 설치한 정비센터에 있지 않고 자동차 제조사에 있는 것으로 분석하였다. 이 자동차 화재사례의 조사를 통해 분해하여 조사하는 등 구체적인 조사를 하지 않고 외관조사만으로 화재원인을 판정하거나 선입견으로 물증을 제시하지 않고 화재원인을 추정해서는 안 됨을 확인할 수 있었다.
