In this regard, it is expected that the damage of this accident can be reduced by educating the citizens.  On  this subject, the aim of the current research is to provide a model for educating citizens in environmental hazards (big fire crises) [4]  based on the ground theory. Quantitative development of research activities in knowledge-based and developed societies is a permanent and continuous process, and diversity in different research methods requires a new approach of research methods and models. Therefore, the current research approach is qualitative. The current research tool is an interview that was collected from an elite panel. The results show that the most important extracted categories are the innovation of education and prevention[1]development conditions, participation, educational activities, effectiveness of training courses in big fire [3] and its consequences. Designing a comprehensive public education plan is a collaborative process, the result of which can be seen in the existence of a documented fire control and protection system. Public citizenship education [2] and increasing people's awareness through short-term citizenship education, education through public media such as radio, television, newspapers and local brochures can be the most important aspect of fire prevention activities.
