Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fire and explosion safety along with risk assessment and early warning constitute core issues in the fields of industrial safety, public security, and disaster prevention and control, holding significant importance for safeguarding lives and property while maintaining social stability. In recent years, with the rapid development of industrial technologies, accelerated urbanization, and widespread applications of new energy and chemical materials, the potential risks of fire and explosion accidents have become increasingly complex, posing severe challenges to traditional safety prevention and control methods. Therefore, in-depth research on the safety mechanisms of fires and explosions, optimization of risk assessment methodologies, and development of efficient early warning technologies have become urgent needs in both academic and engineering communities.
This Special Issue aims to compile the latest research achievements in the field of fire and explosion safety, focusing on core topics including fire safety mechanisms, explosion safety protection, fire and explosion risk assessment methods, and fire and explosion accident early warning technologies.
Specific research themes encompass fire dynamics and combustion characteristics, explosion mechanisms and explosion-proof technologies, fire-resistant and explosion-resistant material properties, quantitative and qualitative risk assessment models, numerical simulations and experimental validation techniques, as well as intelligent early warning systems based on big data and artificial intelligence.
Through the publication of this Special Issue, we hope to promote academic exchange, drive technological innovation, enhance fire and explosion safety prevention and control capabilities, and provide scientific foundations for the formulation of industry standards and the optimization of public safety policies.

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.
