The health professionals are continually developing effective  techniques of burns and mass casualty management. In parallel, fire  prevention and fire-fighting techniques have developed considerably in  most communities. It is therefore surprising that, while aiming at the  same objective, the two sectors have rarely come together.   The Mediterranean Burns Club is a professional organization that  brings together persons concerned with burns therapy and with fire  safety in all forms. Identified by the United Nations as a premier  scientific body in its field within the programme of the International  Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction, it initiated the first  international gathering of specialists in burns as a surgical,  clinical problem, and of counterparts dealing with fires as a social,  disaster problem. This novel approach and symbiosis proved timely and  succesful.   This, the resulting book, reflects the commitment of all concerned to  the reduction of fire disasters and the improvement of burns therapy.
