The present invention provides an optical fire sensor device and a corresponding fire detection method. The optical fire sensor device is equipped with an optical particle detection unit (), which is configured to ascertain measured values of a particle number in a measurement volume range (FA) as a function of a particle size in a predetermined particle size range and/or as a function of a particle speed in a predetermined particle speed range, a fire detection unit (), which is configured to ascertain respective distributions of the measured values and to compare at least one parameter of the ascertained distributions to at least one predetermined criterion. The fire detection unit () is configured to detect a fire (B) in consideration of the comparison. An alarm unit () is used to output an alarm signal in response to the detection of the fire (B) by the fire detection unit ().
