In this paper, we propose the path relinking to solve the maximal covering location problem in which the demand points correspond to number of employees in industrial factories in Rayong, a province on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand. According to the statistics for the fire in Thailand from 2012-2016; fire events tended upwards continuously from 2012 at 58.15 percent. Studying data on the fire to factories over the country in 2014-2015, Rayong province was high ranked fire occurrences which result in massive destruction. Path relinking algorithms are compared on the real-life instances to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
