Progress in Fire Science First Seminar on Fire Science Between China and Germany

Progress in Fire Science . The First joint seminar on fire science and engineering between China and Germany was held in Institute of Fire Department saxony-Anhalt, Heyrothsberge, Germany, on November 11-18, 2003.

The loss caused by fire increases year by year. In the new era of fire safety engineering intemational exchange and cooperation are essential for fire safety communities, through which resources, experience and research results can be shared upon mutual interest and benefit.
