摘要

This paper deals with some investigations of the actual situation and fire protection management for shrines and temples in Taito Ward of Tokyo. The results of the investigations show that 52.4/100 of these facilities are built of wooden structure. In Yanaka area, there are many wooden temples with large precincts, and fire vehicles cannot approach the fire buildings in this area because of narrow alleys. In Nishi-Asakusa area, the rate of fire resistant buildings with small precincts in high. Owners of wooden buildings are anxious about arson and fire spread, however fire protection devices such a sprinkler and a drencher are rarely installed.
