It is told that disaster is learnt from disaster. In this aspect, the first approach to disaster today is to analyze the patterns and sizes of fire by building up the database for disasters occurred in the past. In order to preserve our cultural property buildings from fire, this study built up the fire chronological table of the Choson Dynasty period based on the annals of the Choson Dynasty and analyzed its fire cases like below. (1) According to the annals of the Choson Dynasty, the total number of fire in the Choson Dynasty period was 375 cases while there was a periodic relation between fire occurrence number and periodic dynasty. In other words, the fire occurrence frequency was shown to be high when the domestic situation was chaotic like Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592 or the Manchu war of 1636. (2) The season with high fire occurrence frequency was spring. Those fires might be caused by accidents or negligence in the period of beginning farm work, which was different from the current electronic fire that occurs frequently usually in winter time. (3) The fire occurrence frequency for different places was private house(174 cases, 46%), government office(94 cases, 25%), palace(62 cases, 17%), royal tomb(32 cases, 9%) and natural fire(13 cases, 3%) in order. (4) As there were 32 cases which was recorded with the number of the dead, the fire which killed more than 25 people was two cases. It was shown that 55 cases of fire were less than 100 burnt houses while the number of massive fire which burnt more than 500 households was 12 cases.
