This research examined characteristics of fire pumps of fire fighting vehicles for efficiently extinguishing fires such as wooden building cultural properties and compared with domestic and foreign performance test standards. Wooden construction cultural properties in Korea are located in the mountains, it is difficult to effectively extinguish the fire with a general fire pump. Therefore, it is required to improve the performance of the fire pump’flow and pressure. It is considered that the pressure control of the fire pump, water flow, such as performance and reliability test of the overload are needed for extinguishing fire in wooden building cultural properties. The low temperature test in EN and NFPA is considered to be necessary due to the wooden building cultural properties located in the mountains.
