Abstract Firefighters require accurate and timely information regarding a building and its environment to perform their duty safely and effectively during a fire emergency. However, due to the chaotic nature of building fires, firefighters often receive erroneous, conflicting, or delayed information that can affect the outcome of a hazard. In this paper, we propose a solution in the form of an ontology that defines building and environmental data needed by firefighters during a building fire emergency. The ontology can be a basis for developing intelligent tools and systems that collect building and environmental data from different data sources and provide comprehensive information to firefighters. It can also facilitate the data exchange process between the different personnel involved in emergency response. The ontology was developed by following the METHONTOLOGY method, and it was implemented using the web ontology language (OWL) in Protégé 5.5.0.

Firefighters' Data Requirements Ontology
Domain: Building fire emergency
Intended use: The ontology can be a basis for developing tools and systems that gather essential data about a building and its surroundings and provide the collected data to firefighters in an integrated form. It can also facilitate the data exchange process between different personnel involved in emergency response.
Purpose: Building an ontology to represent data regarding several features and components of a building and its surroundings that firefighters need when responding to building fires.
Scope: The focus is on data about an affected building, its different components, and its surrounding.
