Preparedness data analysis using scoring and categories. The research results show that the majority of the community's preparedness level is in the ready category (61%), where economic, social, and physical factors influence community preparedness. Economic factors can be seen from the absence of insurance or disaster emergency funds, while the social factor is community interaction and participation in fire disaster outreach and training activities. Physical factors that have an influence are the community's efforts to overcome fire-prone settlements by installing water taps outside the house, contacting PLN if there are electricity network problems and building wells. Collaboration between communities and support from the government through the Pro-Bebaya Program is important to increase community preparedness in facing fire disasters.
