Diversity Leaders in Fire Science

Dear Colleagues,

The open access journal, Fire acknowledges the need to recognize underrepresented voices in fire-science, such as indigenous and racial minorities, women, individuals with disabilities, and the LGBTQIA community, who all bring different areas of knowledge in science and ways of taking action. This Special Collection seeks to highlight the contributions of these individuals through invited contributions. If you believe that an individual scientist should be highlighted for their contributions to fire science, suggestions can be sent to the Collection Editors for consideration.

The Editorial Board of Fire may also recommend articles published in the main Journal to also be highlighted in this Topical Collection.

We look forward to receiving your recommendations.

Prof. Dr. Alistair M. S. Smith
