Abstract: In order to provide the division making references to the development of coal fire disaster prevention and control technology in China, the paper introduc ed the basic status, new features and main research progress of the coal fire disaster prevention and control technology during the period of the national "12th Five Year Plan". In combination with the present coal fire disaster status and the coal industrial development situation, the paper provided the key research areas of coal fire disast er prevention and control technology development in the future. The paper stated that the study on coal spontaneous combustion mechanism, the science evaluation on the coal fire environment influences, accurate detection of the fire source location and to improve the control efficiency and others would still be the key scientific proble ms of coal fire study. The paper systematically discussed the key development orientations of the coal spontaneous combustion mechanism, the monitoring, detection an d early warning technology, the fire prevention and extinguishing material technology and equipment, the verification and evaluation method, the coal field fire disaster pr evention and control and the others.A health and sustainable development of the coal fire disaster prevention and control technology would have important significance s to protect the coal safety production, to push the coal industrial sustainable development and to promote the ecological environment protection.
