The Journal of Fire Sciences is a leading, peer-reviewed international journal for the reporting of new and significant fundamental and applied research within the fire safety science community. Its overall content is generally aimed toward the prevention and mitigation of the adverse effects of fires involving combustible materials. Contributors and subscribers alike represent countries from around the world.Published bimonthly, the Journal of Fire Sciences addresses essentially all scientific fire aspects whose consequences are considered detrimental to life and property.Topics, generally involving experimental and theoretical studies of fire initiation and growth, fire containment, fire threat to people and the environment and fire safety engineering, frequently include the following:Measurement and computation of fire properties of materials and products, including ignitability, heat release, smoke and combustion product generationFire retardant systems, chemistry, and methodology for materials and productsFire growth phenomena, including flame spread and smoke movementFire detection and extinguishment based upon fire chemistry and physical phenomenaEffects of fire effluents/emissions and heat on exposed occupants (excluding physiological and medical aspects of these effects)Fire forensic scienceNew approaches to fire protection system design and risk analysisThe content of the Journal of Fire Sciences places particular emphasis on materials, products and systems used in the transportation, electrical & electronic areas, construction, finishing and furnishing of occupancies. Consequently, the Journal is especially relevant for manufacturers, designers, users, and regulators involved with construction, transportation, textile, and numerous other industries where fire safety is of importance. Forum discussions on the intersection of fire science, fire safety engineering, and regulatory issues however, are within scope, and will be engaged in special issues from time to time where key researchers in these fields come together for special issues to give their hypotheses on these key issues for other researchers to discuss and develop experiments to prove/disprove these hypotheses.

《消防科學雜志》是一份領先的、同行評議的國際期刊，報道消防安全科學領域內新的、重要的基礎研究和應用研究。其總體內容一般旨在預防和減輕涉及可燃材料的火災的不利影響。貢獻者和訂閱者都代表著來自世界各地的國家。《消防科學雜志》雙月刊主要討論所有被認為對生命和財產有害的科學火災方面的問題。一般涉及火災發生和發展、火災遏制、對人與環境的火災威脅以及消防安全工程的實驗和理論研究的課題包括：測量和計算材料和產品的燃燒性能，包括可燃性、熱釋放、煙霧和燃燒產物的生成阻燃體系，化學，材料和產品的方法火的生長現象，包括火焰的蔓延和煙霧的移動基于火災化學和物理現象的火災探測和滅火消防排放物/排放物及熱能對受影響人士的影響(不包括這些影響的生理及醫學方面)火法醫學消防系統設計和風險分析的新方法《消防科學雜志》的內容特別強調在交通、電氣和電子領域、建筑、裝修和裝飾用房中使用的材料、產品和系統。因此，該雜志對涉及建筑、交通、紡織和許多其他行業的制造商、設計師、用戶和監管機構特別重要，這些行業的消防安全非常重要。論壇討論火災科學的交叉,消防安全工程，然而，和監管問題范圍內，不時將從事特殊問題，關鍵在這些領域的研究者一起特殊問題給其他研究者的假設在這些關鍵問題上討論和開發實驗來證明或駁斥這些假設。
