Fire is an increasing cause of casualties in modernlife. Many people are killed in fire accidents every year. Theworst thing is that people can hardly detect where and when afire will occur. Thus it is difficult to know which evacuationpath is effective and safe in advance. In this article, a newsystem is introduced to simulate evacuation plans in fireaccidents in both 2D and 3D, which helps people decide wherethey should go when a fire breaks out. This system isimplemented in agent-based modeling, which makes it moreintelligent and flexible.
