Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Unusual fires occur occasionally in open environments or confined spaces in buildings and ships. Unusual fires in open spaces mainly include jet flames from gas leakage, boilover and spilling fire from liquid leakage, extreme wildfires in forests, and accidental ignition of fuel on water or ice surfaces. Meanwhile, unusual fires in confined spaces include ghosting fires, backdraft fires, flashover fires, fire whirlwinds, and wind-aided fires. Compared with that of common pool fires and wood crib fires, the knowledge of unusual fires is insufficient. Therefore, it is of great significance to study these unusual fire behaviors to reduce fire hazards.
In this Special Issue for Fire, which is indexed in the Science Citation Index and in Scopus, we welcome the submission of articles related to unusual fire behaviors, such as ghosting fires, backdraft fires, flashover fires, fire whirlwinds in confined spaces, and jet fires, boilover, spilling fires, extreme wildfires, and fires on water or ice surfaces in open spaces. This Special Issue aims to highlight safety in the treatment of unusual fires in open and confined spaces. In this Special Issue, the scope is to gather original, fundamental, and applied research comprising experimental, theoretical, computational, and case study approaches that contribute to the understanding of flame spread and unusual fires. Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- mechanisms of the occurrence of unusual fires;
- prevention of unusual fires;
- flame plume of unusual fires in open space;
- fire-induced smoke movement in confined spaces;
- modeling and simulation of unusual fires.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
