**1. Introduction**

Generally, fires in confined spaces have more intense burning behaviors than openspace fires due to the accumulation of heat and smoke released by fires. Driven by increasingly rapid globalization and urbanization, the immense growth of building density and complexity has led to larger fire frequency and consequences [1]. This significant increase in building fire risks have raised extensive concerns about smoke transportation and control on confined-space fires through full-scale experiments [2,3], reduced-scale experiments [4,5], numerical simulations [6,7], and statistical analysis [8]. Today, a vast number of studies on fire-induced smoke movement and control are being continuously reported. It is important to provide state-of-the-art insight and strengthen the field knowledge. This Special Issue presents a collection of 12 papers that address the fundamental and practical problems of smoke movement and control in various buildings.
