Fire rules have dual nature character: deterministic nature and probabiliatic nature. Only when we study not only its deterministic nature but also its probabilistic nature and furthermore study their combination, can we understand the rules of fire as a whole. The academic thought of dual-nature character of fire rules has been put forward in this article, and the concrete method of its application to demonstrate fire process has been clarified by constructing a deterministic and probabilistic model for room fires. A great quantity of calculation on computer shows this model can predict conveniently whether a room fire will do harm to persons on the spot and the probability of this harm at a certain time.
