Abstract: For the sake of improving fire safety of communities in China, the paper was aimed at making a community fire safety management comparison between China and America based on the comparison theory. Combining with system engineering principles, factors affecting fire safety of community were obtained and dimensions to be considered in the comparison were identified based on the methodologies of the comparative safety science. Similarities and differences between the two countries in fire supervision, fire standards, fire powers and fire safety management for community fire work were summarized. Comparison results show that there are significant differences between the two in safety management, standard-formulating, firefighter-training, education model among others, and that America's experience may be used for reference in community fire safety management in China.

Key words: comparative safety science, community fire safety, fire supervision, safety education, safety management
