The National Fire Heritage Center has extended the submission deadline for the inaugural issue of the Fire Heritage Review to March 31, 2026. We have already received a number of thoughtful, well‑developed contributions that reflect the strength and diversity of fire service history across the country.
Several prospective writers have requested additional time to complete their submissions, and in support of our mission to document, preserve, and interpret the nation’s fire and emergency services heritage, we are extending the deadline to ensure their work can be included.
This inaugural issue represents an important step in building a lasting scholarly record, and we want to provide space for as many high‑quality contributions as possible.
We welcome articles from historians, fire service professionals, researchers, students, and others committed to advancing the study of fire protection history.

Will this Fire Heritage Review Journal be available on newsstands or in bookstores?
Michael, it will be available through online outlets and through the National Fire Heritage Center. We are planning to have placement in libraries, too.
Which online outlets will it be available on? Will be in libraries in my town, Boca Raton, FL?
Sorry, I meant to write “will IT be in libraries in my town, Boca Raton, FL?”
Michael, we’ll contact them to see if they want to carry it. But also, you will be able to access it online. Thanks for your interest in the Journal.
