Memory effect in diffusion-reaction equation with finite memory transport plays an important role in physical, biological and chemical sciences. In this work we consider a Fisher equation, which has a nonlinear convection term with finite memory transport, from the point of view of Lie classical reductions. By using a direct method we obtain some travelling waves solutions. Furthermore, by using the multipliers method, we derive some nontrivial conservation laws for this equation.
