The invention relates to the 
coal mine safety technology and discloses a gob natural 
fire control method which has good effect of fire preventing and extinguishing. The gob natural 
fire control method comprises the following steps: pouring 
nitrogen, wherein a 
nitrogen pouring point is 30 to 60 meters from a working face, and the amount of the 
liquid nitrogen is 2000m3 / h; reducing the air leaking volume of a gob, and reducing the 
pressure difference of the working face, and controlling the 
pressure difference of the working face within 120Pa; blocking the leakage within an area in which the tight caving cannot be achieved due to the 
cantilever beams formed at an air inlet side and an air return side of the gob through a top plates, and timely closing a transverse rail at the gob; accelerating the advance velocity of the working face, wherein the working face is at the speed of 4m / d; increasing the 
recovery ratio; and controlling the thickness of the residual 
coal to be below 1.3 meters. According to the gob natural 
fire control method, a comprehensive working face gob comprehensive fire preventing and extinguishing measure based on '
nitrogen pouring first, leakage blocking, wind resisting, accelerating of advance velocity and 
recovery rate increasing second' is proposed, and measure implementing parameters are provided; with the adoption of the method, the effect of preventing and extinguishing the fire of the gob can be improved; and the mining on the working face can be ensured to be smoothly carried out.
