The statistics procedures employed for the results of the survey about the distribution of basic data were the frequency distribution, percentage, means, standard deviation, t-test, one-way ANOVA, scheffe method, and pearson’s product- moment correlations. The conclusion of this research were as follows: 1. The vocational industrial high school students need to promote their fire safety cognition. Totally speaking, students do not have enough fire safety knowledge. The students scored low on “Fire knowledge”, “Fire system”, “First aid for fire”. For this reason, fire safety education needs to be emphasized. 2. Fire safety attitude of students should be strengthened. For the research results, fire safety attitude of the students tended to be positive. In other words, students have a great sense of crisis and learning desire for fire safety. 3. Significant relationships existed between fire safety cognition and attitude, and some independent variables. There were significant differences on the fire safety cognition scores of the survey among students with different study field and school location. Meantime, there were no significant differences on the fire safety attitude scores of the survey among students with different sex, grade, study field, school location and Social-Economic Status (SES). 4. There was a positive relationship between the students’ fire safety cognition and their fire safety attitude. 5. The fire safety education of the vocational industrial high school students should be planned, and kept up to date.
