The old community is prone to fire because of the imperfect construction planning and the non-standard community management, and it is not easy to organize rescue, which poses a huge threat to the safety of the lives and property of the local residents. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the fire rescue solution adapted to this special environment. Based on the problem-oriented analysis of the old community environment disorder, the lack of supporting facilities, and the weakness of the existing rescue products, such as their pertinence and poor adaptability, specific problems are introduced from the aspects of basic conditions, core functions and ancillary functions, etc. Then, the problem is divided, locked and solved from the aspects of trafficability, water source, travel, operation, work efficiency and aesthetics. The problem-oriented design thinking can clearly show the essence of the design object. In the design process of fire rescue products applied to old community, the problems are divided into three levels:the basic problems to adapt to the design premise, the core problems to ensure the implementation of functions, and the extension problems to promote the perfection of the scheme. All kinds of problems can be solved systematically, without excessive design, and new problems can be avoided. Finally, practical and feasible product solutions can be obtained.
