However, due to lack concern about the function of fire safety in old building design, that makes now maintained monuments and historical buildings incapable to defend against the fires. The materials used in early buildings are nothing more than wood and stone, which are of no use for fire resistance. Almost wooden buildings must be reconstructed after fire damages because the main structures have been destroyed in fire. While the modern buildings are almost constructed with reinforced concrete materials, which can endure high temperature in a fire and the damage is limited. The main structure usually can be continued to use after building’s renovation. In this study, a fire simulation is held for the historical building "Chao Shan Mansion " which was two times damaged by the fire. The simulation result provides a suggestion for the subsequent reconstruction of Chao Shan Mansion to improve fire prevention facility design.
