Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fire safety community continues to face challenges in fire safety research and design although significant progress has been made over the last several decades. This challenge comes from the complexity associated with high, long, and deep infrastructures, including high rise buildings, long tunnels, underground spaces, from toxic and high fire-load materials used in industry and residence, from integration with green building objectives, etc.
Simultaneously, fire safety design benefits from progressive understanding of fire physics and chemistry, human behavior, structural fire performance, from great capability in numerical simulation and from novel concepts in performance-based design methods, etc. This Special Issue will focus on all of fire safety aspects. Researchers can submit papers dealing with any aspect related to fire safety.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers).

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
