In this study, the fire load, which is a critical data in fire-risk assessment, of Seomun Market in Daegu, was calculated empirically. From the results of this study, the fire load on the 3<sup>rd</sup> floor of Seomun Market 2<sup>nd</sup> District was 53,405.24 MJ, and the fire load per unit area divided by the area of the sample block was 2,139.63 MJ/m<sup>2</sup>. These values were confirmed to be relatively high compared to the fire load on similar sales facilities in other countries. It is expected that the fire load value derived in this study could be used as a reference for the installation of an adequate firefighting facility in Daegu Seomun Market.
