Fire Safety Journal

Aims & Scope

Fire Safety Journal is the leading publication dealing with all aspects of fire safety engineering.

Its scope is purposefully wide, as it is deemed important to encourage papers from all sources within this multidisciplinary subject, thus providing a forum for its further development as a distinct engineering discipline.

This is an essential step towards gaining a status equal to that enjoyed by the other engineering disciplines.
