Review Papers in Fire
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fire disasters have significant impacts on human society and the environment. In order to better understand the related causes, impacts, and mitigation strategies and promote research and development in this field, we have gathered a topical collection of review papers focusing on various aspects of fire-related research; these include papers from experts and scholars worldwide, covering diverse scientific and practical knowledge towards the goal of promoting more safe, effective, and scientifically driven expertise in the policy, community actions, and operational management of fires.
We sincerely invite scholars, experts, and professionals engaged in fire-related research and practical work to actively contribute to this topical collection. We believe that through our collective efforts, this collection will become an important reference for this field, providing new insights and impetus for related research and practical work.
Dr. Grant Williamson
