Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit an article to this Special Issue, titled “Fire Safety and Emergency Evacuation”, which aims to gather groundbreaking research, innovative technologies, and insightful perspectives to enhance our understanding of fire science and improve emergency evacuation procedures. Given that fires pose significant threats to human lives, infrastructure, and the environment, recent incidents worldwide have highlighted the urgent need for comprehensive strategies and advancements in fire safety and emergency evacuation. As we witness the increasing frequency and severity of fire-related disasters, it becomes imperative for researchers, engineers, policymakers, and practitioners to collaborate and contribute their expertise to this pressing issue.
This Special Issue will therefore serve as a platform for the dissemination of cutting-edge research and knowledge in this field. We invite researchers from diverse disciplines, including (but not limited to) fire engineering, materials science, civil engineering, public policy, and psychology, to submit their original research articles, reviews, and case studies to this Special Issue.
Potential topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Fire experiment, modeling, and simulation;
- Smoke characteristics, transport, and control;
- Fire-resistant materials and building design;
- Evacuation experiment, modeling, and simulation;
- Crowd dynamics and crowd management strategies;
- Human behavior and decision-making in emergencies;
- Fire safety regulations, policies, and standards.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Fire is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
