Informing the practice of fire safety engineering

摘要

As the first Editor-in-Chief, Peter Johnson had the vision, motivation and ability to successfully launch, recruit qualitypapers and bring to prominence Case Studies in Fire Safety as a leading journal for the practice of fire safety engineering. Therehave been some 40,000 article downloads – from some 70 different countries – since the journal launched just two years ago.I thank Peter for his hard work and dedication to the journal, and I am honored and humbled to be asked to carry on thiswork. With Peter’s guidance and support, as well as that of the Editorial Board, our reviewers, Joe d’Angelo and the team atElsevier, and most importantly, the fire safety engineering research and practitioner communities, I welcome theopportunity to expand our reach and our significance during this critically important time for fire safety engineering.
