Last week the 13th International Symposium on Fire Safety Science was held virtually by IAFSS. Two prestigious awards were awarded to people associated with the division of Fire Safety Engineering during the symposium. Dr. Enrico Ronchi received the Magnusson early career award, for his numerous research contributions that have covered a wide range of areas concerning human behavior in fire and fire evacuation. Prof. Haukur Ingason received the Sjölin Award for his outstanding contribution to the science and fire safety in regard to tunnel fire safety. We at the division of fire safety engineering are very proud to have Dr. Ronchi and Prof. Ingason at the division! Congratulations!
