Abstract
The ninth International Conference on Forest Fire Research, organised by the Forest Fire Research Center of the Association for Developmental of Industrial Aerodynamics every 4 years since 1990, was held in November 2022 in Coimbra, Portugal. The conference was held in conjunction with the 17th International Wildland Fire Safety Summit, sponsored by the International Association of Wildland Fire. The number and quality of the submissions for this joint event was very high, and the authors were encouraged to submit a full paper to a special issue of the International Journal of Wildland Fire (IJWF). Given the large number of submissions, the Journal decided to publish the special issue in several parts. Part 1 was published in January 2023, with eight papers, and Part 2 in March 2023, with 10 papers. This third part presents 15 original papers in five topical areas: decision support systems and tools (3), risk reduction (2), risk assessment (3), wildland urban interface (3) and wildfire management and safety (4). All the papers in this special issue are published Open Access.
