Abstract—The reform of the domestic fire control system has brought about strong social demand for innovation in terms of updating the fire control engineering education system. There are many existing problems in terms of the training of engineering talents at local fire engineering colleges, including unclear training objectives, an unreasonable curricular system, an overly standardized teaching method, the neglect of students' personal development, the limited practical capability of engineering teachers, overly standardized evaluation methods, and too great of an emphasis on learning results, etc.; all of which relate to the concept of so-called "outcome-based education" (OBE). We propose the following modifications in terms of the OBE training model employed by local fire engineering colleges: the strengthening professional construction, the definition of training objectives, the alteration of the curriculum system, the adjustment of curriculum content, the reform of teaching methods, increased attention to students' needs, the assembly of a contingent of teachers, the improvement of evaluation systems, and the cultivation of applied fire engineering talents for the society.
