High-rise and ultra high-rise buildings have solved the problems of limitations caused by construction land to a certain extent, and provided a better view and more convenience for people at the same time. Problems such as high fire loads, difficulties in occupants evacuation and firefighting have become the focus of public and fire departments. This paper constructs a fire risk evaluation indicator system and an AHP-based fire risk evaluation model for high-rise civil buildings. It applies the fuzzy hierarchy theory to the fire risk evaluation for high-rise hotel buildings in a city and provides theoretical support for the prevention and control of these risks.
