A Scoping Review and Bibliometric Analysis on Smart Firefighting in Buildings and Infrastructures

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smart Firefighting is a concept that has emerged within the fire engineering and fire science disciplines in recent years. It can enable informed decision making and improved fire safety. However, its scope, definition, outcomes, and value to emergency management remain unclear. To investigate this, a scoping review and a bibliometric analysis
