Special Issue Information
Coal fires are a major disaster threatening the safety of mine production. The vast majority of their causes stem from the spontaneous combustion of coal, and such fires often occur in enclosed spaces such as goafs, coal pillars, and structural zones. In the research field of the occurrence and development laws of coal fires, existing achievements mainly focus on four aspects: first, research on the self-heating and oxidation characteristics of coal; second, numerical simulation calculations and similar simulation experiments carried out with commercial software; third, the exploration of early prediction and monitoring technologies for coal fires; fourth, the practical application of fire prevention and extinguishing technologies and related materials. In addition, as an important active prevention and control method, water injection seepage disaster prevention technology has become an important part of research due to its mechanism of action in inhibiting coal body temperature rise and blocking the formation of spontaneous combustion conditions. Although existing research has covered multiple dimensions, many key details still need to be further explored. For example, the evolution law of combustion characteristics of coal in high-temperature environments and the quantitative analysis of the fire-extinguishing efficiency of various composite materials all need to be further focused on in future research.

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). 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.
