This paper studies the relationship between fire and socioeconomic factors of China based on the statistics data from 1997 to 2000. The result indicates that the relationship of fire and socioeconomic factors of China is different from that of developed countries distinctly. In China, fire situation is more serious in areas with more developed regions and tends to be more serious with the increase of economy. More comprehensive relationship of fire and economy has been proposed by discussing the relationship among fire and economy and education, i.e. , fire increases at first, then decreases with the development of economy. The prediction of fire situation in the future has been made based on the analysis of the paper.
