In August, 2018, an editorial in Fire entitled Recognizing Women Leaders in Fire Science was published. This was intended to ignite a conversation into diversity in fire science by highlighting several women leaders in fire research and development. This editorial was released alongside a new Topical Collection in Fire called Diversity Leaders in Fire Science. The response on social media was fantastic, leading to numerous recommendations of women leaders in fire science that had been inadvertently missed in the first editorial. In this editorial, we acknowledge 145 women leaders in fire science to promote diversity across our disciplines. Fire is continually committed to improving diversity and inclusion in all aspects of the journal and welcomes perspectives, viewpoints, and constructive criticisms to help advance that mission.

The use of radio in fire protection practice in Ontario commenced in 1927. Development has mainly been in the northern and western districts where telephone line construction was more costly than in the older, settled districts. From 3 sets in 1927, radio equipment has been increased to 148 sets in 1940. These are of different types according to use requirements. Simplicity of operation is essential because the operators are largely untrained, although interest on the part of tower observers and other users is increasing. Two way communication is made possible by the use of a small gasoline motor of commercial type for charging batteries. Installation in towers, methods of repairing and improving equipment, and the organization of "groups" of sets is described.
