Fire terms you should know when listening/reading about fires!

🔥 Decoding Fire Talk

Fire departments work to communicate in plain language. During wildfire updates, you may still hear specialized terms used by firefighters, aircraft crews and partner agencies to communicate quickly and accurately.

What does “head of the fire” mean? What’s a “flank”? And does “forward progress stopped” mean the fire is out?

Here’s a quick guide to some of the most common wildfire terms you may hear during an incident.
