This study investigates the social vulnerability indicators affecting the operational safety of fire service agencies at disaster scenes in Taiwan. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 841 full-time firefighters from 22 local fire departments, based on an established indicator framework. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, independent samples t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression. The results reveal a significant negative correlation between perceived current status and improvement priority, indicating that weaker indicators are considered more urgent for improvement. Significant differences were found across age, years of service, unit, and rank, suggesting disparities in experience, organizational roles, and resource accessibility within fire service agencies. Multiple regression analysis identified “Comprehensive Personnel Management” as the most influential factor affecting disaster-scene safety, followed by “Coordination and Liaison Management” and other operational indicators. The model demonstrated substantial explanatory power, accounting for 62.8% of the variance in safety performance. These findings highlight that manpower shortages, communication inefficiencies, and coordination challenges are critical issues influencing operational safety. Therefore, it is recommended that fire service agencies prioritize improvements in personnel allocation, communication systems, and inter-unit coordination mechanisms to enhance overall safety and organizational resilience. The results provide empirical evidence to support policy-making and resource allocation for improving disaster response effectiveness and firefighter safety under conditions of limited resources.
