Fire

Aims & Scope

Fire (ISSN 2571-6255) is an international open-access journal about the science, policy, and technology of fires and how they interact with communities and the environment.

Fire serves as an international forum for diverse scientific and practical knowledge to converge in the interest of promoting more safe, effective, and scientifically driven expertise in the policy, community actions, and operational management of fires.

Fire was established in 2018 and was originally focused on fire ecology and the role of vegetation fires on the landscape.

Today, the journal welcomes include a wider diversity of fire science topics.

We encourage interdisciplinary submissions from studies that take a pyrogeography perspective of vegetation fires occurring in natural, cultural, and industrial landscapes and how they interact with communities in the science–policy interface.

We seek the submission of case studies highlighting significant fire events or examples of governmental or community-based fire management.

We also encourage methodological technical notes and data descriptions to enable global cross-comparisons of core science methods, data types, and fires.

This journal also encourages submissions related to the historical, policy, and social science aspects of fire science and fire management.

Fire science research focused on the inside of buildings (structural response to fire, smoke and heat transport, ignition and fire spread, technical solutions for fire safety) may also be considered.

Submissions related to battery fires are welcome.
