Integrating Diverse Perspectives for Safer Fire Designs: The Case for Convergence Research

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A narrow view of fire safety often overlooks the complex web of factors that shape the real‐world risks for building occupants, community members, people in temporary shelter, and those without housing. Many studies examine individual components of fire safety, such as fire hazards, building performance, and human behavior.
