As a member of the Program Committee, it is my pleasure to inform you of the Fire and Materials 2007 conference. This year the conference will also be held in San Francisco and will take place on 29-31 January 2007. As at the last three of these conferences, not only will the topics cover latest research findings in fire safety science, but an entire whole-day session will be focused exclusively on fire investigation and fire forensics topics.
