With the rapid development of urban construction and the increasing number of high-rise buildings, many problems have arisen, one of which is fire. High-rise building fires are developing rapidly, and it is difficult to extinguish them, which causes great losses and seriously threatens people’s safety in production and life. Early warning of high-rise building fire is an important means to prevent fire. In this paper, aiming at high-rise building fires, the causes of high-rise building fires in 2019 are analyzed statistically, and the causes of high-rise building fires are summarized. An intelligent early warning system of high-rise building fire based on multi-dimensional data fusion is proposed. Based on the actual forecast data, the early warning system based on multi-dimensional data fusion is analyzed through Matlab simulation, thus verifying the feasibility and reliability of the established fire early warning system. The research results have certain guiding significance for high-rise building fire warning.

In a building fire, occupants are basically required to escape by stairs and not to use elevators. However, in many recent fires, quite a number of people used elevators for their evacuation. Also, it is expected that the number of people who have difficulty in using stairs in evacuation will increase, since the proportion of aged people in the total population has been rapidly increasing in recent years and the accessibility of buildings for disabled people has also been improved in Japan. To consider this situation, we made a simplified model to evaluate evacuation time by elevators, and conducted case studies in order to examine the feasibility and issues of elevator use for evacuation. The results of the case studies indicate that, if the elevator use can be designated only for a small proportion of occupants such as disabled people, it would be effective to use the elevator in the evacuation of those people. However, for the general building population, it is suggested that it would be better to use stairs for their evacuation in most cases thus enabling the evacuation of disabled people by elevator to be more effective.

With the high-rise building fire accidents have increased every year, the appearance of home fire evacuation cabin has a very important significance.At first,We introduced the development status of domestic and international mine refuge Chamber and two mine refuge Chamber products which was used commonly,and analysed their merit and shortcoming,where we could get the inspiration;Then we focused on the present situation of the household refuge compartment and analysis of its shortcomings and the main problems need to be solved;Finally we put forward the design concept of the household fire refuge cabin .

Firstly, this paper analyzed the factors affecting high-rise building fire safety in terms of the aspects of staff awareness, high-rise building fire design, fire-fighting facilities, daily management, and technology and so on. Secondly, on this basis, I determined the flow graph model and variables, and constructed high-rise building fire safety simulation model. Finally, a high-rise building was used to verify the applicability of the model. The findings have developed a clear direction in order to strengthen the management and formulation of high-rise building fire safety.
