The previous studies presume that the use of emergency vehicles will be obstructed by collapsed buildings after a large earthquake. In this paper, the authors investigate a method for assisting fire fighters for their effective and efficient access to the locations of fires. More specifically, first, the authors construct a simulation model that describes the movement of fire engines under the condition of street-blockages caused by collapsed buildings. Next, using the proposed model, the authors attempt to evaluate the effects of street-blockage information collected by residents on improving the accessibility of fire engines. Finally, based on the simulation result, the authors demonstrate that the access time to the locations of fires can be effectively reduced by using the street-blockage information.
