The coordination and effective intervention of fire, ambulance, civil defense and other actors participate in disaster and emergency situations has become a priority need. Interoperable geographic data is urgent need for Disaster-Emergency Management, in mitigation and preparedness stages, access to the region, monitoring of rescue operations, control and management activities of various logistics services depending on the quality of data. In this study, actors that could act in a GIT based Disaster-Emergency Management are defined, activities in mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery stages of the possible fire disaster and need of geographical data to manage these activities, were determined according to the principles of interoperability. In conclusion, object-relational geographic data model providing effective data management for 'Fire Disaster-Emergency Management' is designed and tested in practice.
