This paper describes motorcycles fire in the arcade of the building. Four tests for motorcycles burning were conducted in the arcade of a full-scale two-story building. Experimental results indicate the flames from the motorcycle with plastic body hull, in intense burning, may ignite any combustible materials in the arcade by radiation and flame touch, and their heating of the surroundings is quite dangerous. When there are three motorcycles fallen in a row in the arcade, and the motorcycles are fired, the flame heights from the floor is over 5m, the temperature and the radiant-heat flux of the ceiling in the arcade is separately equal to 576 C and 8.7 W/cm².
