Paper abstract bibtex [Excerpt: Preface] This glossary gives definitions of terms most commonly used in Canada in the field of forest fire management. It also includes terms that are commonly found in forest fire management literature, although not all of these terms are widely used in field operations at this time. The main purpose of the glossary is to provide a means of achieving a common understanding of the vocabulary used in forest fire management and to promote the use of standard terminology among forest fire agencies across the country. It is intended primarily for operational personnel, and for use in training and educational programs. [] This 2002 edition of the glossary includes definitions found in the Canadian Incident Command System, along with the terms contained in the previous editions. These additions and revisions reflect changes in philosophies and techniques of forest fire control and fire use practices which have generated the broader field of forest fire management. Throughout the glossary, "forest" is broadly interpreted as meaning any natural vegetation. [] The main terms in bold type (e.g. Forest Fire), which are defined, are preferred for national usage. Abbreviations and acronyms are also included where appropriate. Words in bold type used in a definition are terms that are defined elsewhere in the glossary. Synonyms, which have equivalent or near equivalent meanings to the main term, are included following a definition. In some cases, a main term or a synonym is unique to one part of the country or the world. Such local usage is indicated. However, no attempt was made to include all localized synonyms. The main terms and synonyms included in this glossary are recommended; use of any other synonyms is discouraged. [] The words "See" and "Note" following a definition or a main term direct the glossary user to another term or group of terms. "See" indicates a synonym and refers the user to the preferred term (e.g. the entry for aerial fuels on page 1 refers the reader to the preferred term crown fuels on page 7). "Note" indicates related or opposite terms (e.g. density altitude is defined on page 7 and is related to downloading, defined on page 8). "Note" sometimes refers the user to a grouping of terms where several main terms are defined (e.g. fire boss is entered on page 11 but is defined under the collective term fire overhead on page 13). [] The International System of Units (SI) is used within the glossary where appropriate. A list of SI to English or old metric unit conversion factors is included as Appendix I of this glossary. [] A separate but similar French glossary is being prepared by french speaking representatives of the forest fire management agencies and will be published on completion. [] French terms used in forest fire management and their English Equivalents are included as Appendix II of this glossary. [] English terms used in forest fire management and their French Equivalents are included as Appendix III of this glossary. [] As forest fire management terminology is constantly evolving, this glossary will be reviewed again. [] [...]
