Кіріспе
Өрт сөндіруде қолданылатын терминдер мен жаргонның анықтамаларының тізімі.
Ескерту: Бұл тізімге өрт сөндіру жабдықтары, яғни өрт сөндірушілер қолданатын құралдар мен аппараттар кірмейді. Мұндай терминдер үшін өрт сөндіру техникасының сөздігіне жүгініңіз. Сол сияқты, мазмұнының көп бөлігі ортақ болғанымен, жабайы өрттерді сөндіруге тән терминология үшін жабайы өрттер терминдерінің сөздігіне де қарауға болады. Ескерту: Мұнда берілген терминдердің көпшілігі, әсіресе жұмыс жүйелеріне, команда атауларына, процедураларға, лауазымдарға және саясатқа қатысты, АҚШ-та пайда болған және басқа ағылшын тілді елдердің өрт сөндіру және құтқару қызметтерінде міндетті түрде қолданылмайды. Мысалы, Call Firefighter (АҚШ) және Retained Firefighter (Ұлыбритания). Өрт сөндіру жаргоны – кең таралған және ерекше терминдердің алуан түрлі лексикасын қамтиды. Осындай тізімді жасауға тырысуда туындайтын бір мәселе – әрбір бөлімшеде қолданылатын терминологияның көп бөлігі олардың стандартты операциялық процедураларында нақты анықталады, сондықтан екі бөлімшеде бір нәрсенің атауы мүлдем басқаша болуы мүмкін. Мысалы, кімге сұрақ қойылғанына байланысты, қауіпсіздік тобы «дайындық», RIT, RIG немесе RIC (жедел араласу тобы/тобы/экипажы) немесе FAST (өрт сөндірушіге көмек және іздеу тобы) деп аталуы мүмкін. Сонымен қатар, бір бөлімше өз стандартты операциялық процедураларында терминді өзгерте алады, яғни бір жылы RIT, ал келесі жылы RIG немесе RIC деп аталуы мүмкін. Өрт сөндірушілер жаргонының өзгеруін қағида ретінде қабылдамау керек; кейбір терминдер кеңінен таралған (мысалы, тұрақты құбыр, гидрант, басшы). Бірақ есіңізде болсын, мұнда берілген кез келген термин бөлімшеге немесе аймаққа тән болуы мүмкін, немесе кем дегенде, адам ойлағаннан гөрі ерекше болуы мүмкін.
List of definitions of terms and jargon used in firefighting
Note: This list does not include firefighting equipment, i. e., tools and apparatus used by firefighters. Please refer to Glossary of firefighting equipment for such terms. Similarly, although there is much overlap, you may also want to refer to the Glossary of wildfire terms for terminology particular to that type of firefighting. Note: Many of the terms defined here, particularly relating to systems of work, team names, procedures, careers and policies, seem to originate in the U. S. and are not necessarily applicable to other English speaking countries' fire and rescue services. For example, Call Firefighter (U. S.) and Retained Firefighter (UK). Firefighting jargon includes a diverse lexicon of both common and idiosyncratic terms. One problem that exists in trying to create a list such as this is that much of the terminology used by a particular department is specifically defined in their particular standing operating procedures, such that two departments may have completely different terms for the same thing. For example, depending on whom one asks, a safety team may be referred to as a standby, a RIT or RIG or RIC (rapid intervention team/group/crew), or a FAST (firefighter assist and search team). Furthermore, a department may change a definition within its SOP, such that one year it may be RIT, and the next RIG or RIC. The variability of firefighter jargon should not be taken as a rule; some terms are fairly universal (e. g. stand pipe, hydrant, chief). But keep in mind that any term defined here may be department or region specific, or at least more idiosyncratic than one may realize.

Б
BA жиынтығы: бет маскасы және қысылған ауа баллонынан тұратын тыныс алу аппараты жиынтығы. Екі түрі – SDBA және EDBA. SDBA немесе стандартты ұзақтықтағы тыныс алу аппараты бір баллонды және шамамен 30 минутқа ауамен қамтамасыз етеді. EDBA немесе ұзартылған ұзақтықтағы тыныс алу аппараты екі баллонды және шамамен 60 минутқа ауамен қамтамасыз етеді. Артқы ағын: өрт құбылысы, ол өрт бөлмесінде жылу мен тығыз түтіннің (жанып қалған отын бөлшектерінің) жиналуынан, қол жетімді ауаның азаюынан және содан кейін оттегі/ауаның қайта енгізілуінен туындайды, бұл өрт үшбұрышын толықтырып, жылдам жануға себеп болады. Кері өртеу: "бақыланған өртеу" деп те аталады, бұл көбінесе табиғи өртке қарсы күресте қолданылатын жанама шабуылмен байланысты тактика, бақылау жолағының ішіндегі отынды қасақана өртеу арқылы. Көбінесе тез таралатын өртті тоқтату үшін қолданылады, өрт сөндірушілерге қолайлы жағдайда өртті сөндіруге болатын жерлерге бақылау жолағын орналастыру үшін. Бұл техника қалалық өрттерді тез таратуда, әсіресе 1906 жылғы жер сілкінісінен кейін Сан-Францискода қолданылды. Арқадан жану: Жоғарыдағы кері өртеу үшін австралиялық термин. Артқы ағымды болдырмаушы: шланг аксессуарларында қолданылатын автоматты клапан, судың тек бір бағытта ағуын қамтамасыз етеді. Тұрақты өрт сөндіру бөлімшелерінің қосылымдарында (FDC) су бүркіткіштерге және құрғақ тұрақ құбырларына, сондай-ақ өрт сөндіруде қолданылатын портативті құрылғыларға қолданылады. Артқа созу: өрт құрылысының жанынан гидрантқа дейін қоректендіру желісін салу. (Әдетте, гидранттан өртке қарай созылады.) Төменге қарай жиналу: түтін бөлмені толтырғанда еденге қарай жиналады, әртүрлі температурада бірнеше қабатты жылу мен түтін құрайды – ең салқын температурасы төменде. Құтқару: өрт бөлмесінен жылдам шығу амалы, көбінесе баспалдақ арқылы. Флешовер қаупі болғанда қолданылады. Қайнап тұрған сұйықтың кеңейетін будың жарылысы (BLEVE): қатты қысымдағы ыстық материалды қамтитын резервуардың жарылуы, будың кеңею жылдамдығы қысымды төмендету мүмкіндігінен асып кеткенде (мысалы, бу қазандығы немесе сұйық газ баллоны). Егер мазмұны жанғыш болса, тез шығарылған бу екінші жану-жарылысқа түсіп, әдетте күшті және әсерлі болады. Бомбалаушы: Австралиялық термин, тұрақты қанатты өрт сөндіру ұшағы үшін. Сондай-ақ "су бомбалаушы" немесе "борат бомбалаушы" деп те аталады. Қорап (дабыл): оқиға түріне жоспарланған жауапты қамтитын ескерту карточкасы бар пошта жәшігі немесе басқа файлдық жүйе. Мысалы, "Кейбір көшедегі" құрылыс өрті туралы хабарлама 6-қораппен белгіленеді; 6-қораптағы карточкада осы оқиғаға жіберілуі тиіс түрлі өрт сөндіру станцияларының аппараттарының тізімі болады. Географиялық аймаққа немесе нақты жедел шақыруға қорапты тағайындау алғашқы жөнелту кезінде орынға дұрыс аппараттар мен қызметкерлерді жеткізу процесін жеңілдетті және өрт болған жерде "қай бөлімде не бар" деген сұрақтарды жоюға көмектесті. Кейіннен қораптар "2, 3, 4 және т.б. дабыл" үшін эскалация процедураларын қамту үшін кеңейтілді, қорапта муниципалитеттегі немесе өзара көмек арқылы әртүрлі өрт сөндіру станцияларының аппараттарының келесі тапсырмасы болады. Қазіргі заманғы CAD жүйелері қорапты дабыл тұжырымын абстракттайды және қораптың анықтамаларын географиялық аймаққа, күннің уақытына, оқиға түріне, ауа райына және басқа жоспарланған жағдайларға негізделгендей іске қосады. Белгілі бір гидрант аймағы үшін "Жазғы" қораптың тапсырмасында әдетте қозғалтқыш, саты немесе мұнаралы жүк көлігі және құтқару компанияларының жауабы болады. Алайда, қыста қорапқа (автоматты түрде немесе қолмен) су танктерінің бастапқы жөнелтуге қосылуы үшін өзгертілуі мүмкін, мұздатылған гидранттарды басқару үшін. Барлық жағдайларда, егер хабарланған өрт орнында сумен жабдықтау үшін гидранттар болмаса, қорапқа әрқашан цистерналық жүк көлігі қосылады. Бұл термин ірі қалаларда ондаған жылдар бойы кең таралған өрт сигнализациясының тартпаларынан алынған. Бұл қоңыраулармен қорап нөмірін хабарлауға арналған телеграф жүйесі болды. Бұл жүйе 1920-жылдардан бастап (немесе одан бұрын) кейбір қалаларда 1960 және 1970-жылдарға дейін қолданылды. Бостон АҚШ-тың алғашқы (немесе бірінші) ірі қалаларының бірі болды, онда телеграфты дабыл жүйесі болды. Олар оны 1852 жылы орнатты. Бостон өрт сөндіру бөлімі әлі де қағаз рулондары мен қоңыраулар жүйесін пайдаланады. "Қорап карточкаларын" қазіргі заманғы пайдалану, оларды жіберу немесе көтеру үшін қиялға салынған қораптың орналасуы негізінде, көбінесе "көлеңкелі қорап" жүйесі деп аталады. Сондай-ақ, телефондардан бұрынғы дабыл жүйесі үшін ескі термин, онда қораптар қалалық аймандардағы көше төбелерінде орналасқан және ең жақын өрт станциясына қосылған. Буферлік аймақ: "буферлік аймақтың" құрылуы өрт сөндірушілер бар ғимараттың жанындағы өрт газдарының тұтану мүмкіндігін азайту үшін 3D қорғаныс шараларын қолдануды білдіреді. Бұл өрт сөндірушілер үшін уақытша және жергілікті қауіпсіздік аймағын құруы мүмкін, бірақ "қауіпсіз аймақтан" әлдеқайда аз қорғауды ұсынады. Көліктік құрал: Бас штабтың көлігі үшін қолданылатын термин, бұрын бас штаб атпен тартылатын көлікті пайдаланған кездегі сілтеме. Табиғи өртте "көліктік құрал" – "экипаж тасымалы" сленгі. I типті экипаждар "Ведомствоаралық Ыстық топтар" (20-21 адам) деп аталады, оларға экипаж тасымалдарын тұрақты түрде тағайындалады және барлық тасымалдаулар әртүрлі агенттіктердегі Ыстық топтар үшін бірдей модельді конфигурацияны пайдаланады. Ыстық топтарда экипаж тасымалдарын екі және басқарушының көлігі бар, ол бір тонналық пикап көлігімен және қосымша жабдықтармен жабдықталған. Ыстық топтар ғана емес, тәжірибесі аз экипаждар II типті экипаждар деп аталады, оларға көлік тұрақты түрде тағайындалмауы мүмкін. Экипаж тасымалын сирек естіледі. Табиғи өрттегі барлық адамдар "көліктік құрал" дейді. Өртеу ғимараты: АҚШ-та бұрынғы ресми термин, тірі оқу құрылысы үшін. АҚШ-та ресми пайдалану тоқтатылған болса да, әлі де кеңінен қолданылады. Автобус: Нью-Йоркте жедел жәрдем машинасының тағы бір атауы. Бұта өрті: Австралиялық термин, төмендегі табиғи өрт үшін.
BA set: Breathing apparatus set consisting of a face mask and compressed air cylinder. Two types SDBA and EDBA. SDBA or standard duration breathing apparatus has one cylinder and supplies about 30 minutes of air. EDBA or extended duration breathing apparatus has two cylinders and supplies about 60 minutes of air. Backdraft: A fire phenomenon caused when heat and heavy smoke (unburned fuel particles) accumulate inside a compartment, depleting the available air, and then oxygen/air is re introduced, completing the fire triangle and causing rapid combustion. Backfiring: Also known as a "controlled burn," it's a tactic mostly used in wildland firefighting associated with indirect attack, by intentionally setting fire to fuels inside the control line. Most often used to contain a rapidly spreading fire, placing control lines at places where the fire can be fought on the firefighter's terms. This technique has been used in rapidly spreading urban fires, especially in San Francisco following the 1906 earthquake. Back burning: Australian term, for backfiring, above. Backflow preventer: Automatic valve used in hose accessories to ensure water flows only in one direction. Used in permanent fire department connections (FDC) to sprinklers and dry standpipes, as well as portable devices used in firefighting. Backstretching: Laying a supply line from the vicinity of the fire structure to a hydrant. (Typically laid from the hydrant toward the fire on the way in.) Bank down: What the smoke does as it fills a room, banks down to the floor, creating several layers of heat and smoke at different temperatures—the coolest at the bottom. Bail out. The act of completing a quick egress away from a fire room, on a ladder. This is done if flashover conditions are imminent. Boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE): Explosion of a pressure tank containing an overheated material when the vapor expansion rate exceeds the pressure relief capacity (e. g., steam boiler or LPG tank). If the contents are flammable, the rapidly released vapor may react in a secondary fuel air explosion, usually violent and spectacular. Bomber: Australian term for fixed wing fire fighting aircraft. Also called "water bomber" or "borate bomber". Box (alarm): A mailslot or other file system containing a notecard with a planned response to an incident type. For example, a reported structure fire on Some Road would be tagged with box 6; the notecard in box 6 would contain the list of apparatus from various fire stations that should be dispatched to that incident. Assigning a box to a geographical area or specific emergency call significantly facilitated the process of getting the right apparatus and personnel to the scene on the initial dispatch, and helped eliminate the guesswork of "which department has what" at the fire scene. Boxes later evolved to contain escalation procedures on the "2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. alarm", the box would contain the next assignment of apparatus from various fire stations within the municipality or through mutual aid. Modern CAD systems now abstract the box alarm concept, and allow box definitions to be triggered based on geographic area, time of day, incident type, weather, and any other planned situation. For a given hydrant area, the "Summer" box assignment will contain the usual response of an engine, ladder or tower truck, and rescue companies. In the winter, however, the box may be modified (automatically, or manually) to include water tankers on the initial dispatch, to handle the case of frozen hydrants. In all cases, should no hydrants be available for water supply at the scene of a reported fire, a tank truck is always added to the box. The term box comes from the fire alarm pull boxes that were commonplace in major cities for well over fifty years. This was a telegraph system that involved bells to ring out the box number. This system was in place from the 1920s (or earlier) to well into the 1960s and 1970s in some cities. Boston was one of the first (if not the first) major U. S. cities to have a telegraph alarm system. They installed it in 1852. The Boston Fire Department still uses this system of paper rolls and bells. The modern use of "box cards" based upon an imaginary box location for dispatch or move up is often known as the phantom box system. Also, an antiquated term for an alarm system which predated telephones, where boxes were located on street corners in urban areas and connected to the nearest fire station. Buffer zone: The creation of a 'buffer zone' implies the use of 3D defensive actions to reduce potential for an ignition of fire gases in the immediate area of a structure occupied by firefighters. This may create a temporary and more local zone of safety for firefighters, although offering far less protection than a 'safe zone'. Buggy: A term usually used for the chief's vehicle, a reference back when the chief would respond in a horse drawn buggy. In wildland fire "buggy" is slang for "crew transport." Type I crews are referred as "Interagency Hotshot Crews" (20 21 people) that have crew transports permanently assigned to them and almost all the transports use the same model configuration with no or little differation for the different agencies that have hotshot crews. Hotshot crews have two crew transports and a superintendents vehicle, which is a pickup sized (one ton) with a utility box configuration. Hotshot crews are not the only type of crew and less experienced crews are called Type II crews that may not have vehicles permanently assigned to them. It is rare to hear a crew transport called same. Almost everyone on a wildland fire will say "buggy" instead. Burn building: Former official US term for a live training structure. Still commonly used in the US, although the term was discontinued for official use in the US in 2007. Bus: Another term for ambulance (NYC). Bushfire: Australian term, for wildfire, below.

Өрт сөндірушіге қоңырау шалу: АҚШ-та өрт сөндірушілер қажеттілік туғанда, жартылай штаттық режимде, кез келген төтенше жағдайға жауап береді. Өрт сөндірушілер өздерінің аудандарындағы жергілікті өрт сөндіру бөлімшелерімен бірге оқытылады. Өрт сөндірушілерді шақырудың үш әртүрлі тәсілі бар. "Бірінші кезектегі" өрт сөндірушілер тобы – бұл толығымен жалақылы өрт сөндірушілермен жабдықталған бөлімшелер. Бұл өрт сөндірушілер өздерінің құзыреті шегіндегі барлық төтенше жағдайларға жауап береді және көршілес аумақтардан келген толық штаттық бөлімшелермен қолдау көрсетіледі. "Қосымша" өрт сөндірушілер тобы – бұл толық штаттық бөлімшесі бар станциядан екінші өрт сөндіру машинасы құратын бөлімшелер. Бұл бөлімшелер өздерінің аудандарындағы барлық көп бөлімдік жауаптарға жауап береді және штаттық өрт сөндірушілер басқа тапсырмалармен шұғылданған кезде станцияны қамтиды.

Call firefighter: In the U. S., call firefighters respond as needed on a part time basis to all types of emergencies. Call firefighters train with their local engine companies in their districts. Call firefighters are used in three different ways. “First Responder" call firefighter units, are those units that are staffed entirely by paid call firefighters. These firefighters respond to all emergency incidents within their jurisdictional areas and are supported by full time companies from adjoining jurisdictions. "Supplemental" call firefighter units are those units that staff a second engine company from a station that is also staffed by a full time company. These units respond to all multi unit responses in their district, and cover the station when the career companies are committed. "Augmentation" call firefighters are assigned to an existing career company and respond directly to the scene to augment that company's staffing. See also Retained firefighter (U. K.)
Can: Slang for a pressurized water can. Career firefighter: (U. S.) A person whose primary employment is as a firefighter for a municipality or other agency or company and who derives the majority of his earned income working in the fire service. See also wholetime firefighter (U. K.)
Charge a hose: To make water pressure available on a hose in final preparation for its use. This is done on the scene after the hose is deployed, but prior to entering the fire danger area. (Also known as "charge the line")
Charged hose: A hose that is filled with water and pressurized; ready to use. The charged line is much more difficult to move than one not yet charged. Chauffeur: See Engineer. Chief officer: An executive officer of the fire department, as contrasted with a tactical company officer. Typical chief officers include the fire chief, assistant and deputy fire chief, battalion or division or district chiefs (who may each supervise fire captains), watch commanders and the Scottish Fire Master. Chimney fire: Fast and intense fire in a chimney flue in which accumulated creosote and other combustion byproducts ignite. These often extend fire into the roof or attic, especially with defective chimneys or when the mortar becomes hot enough to melt. Class A: A fire involving combustibles such as wood, paper, and other natural materials. See Fire classes. Class B: A fire involving flammable liquids such as gasoline or other fuels. See Fire classes. Class C: An electrical fire. See Fire classes. Class D: A fire involving metals, such as sodium, titanium, magnesium, potassium, uranium, lithium, plutonium and calcium. See Fire classes. Class E (Europe/Australia): A composite Class A/Class B fire that is not also a Class C fire. Class F (Europe/Australia): See Class K.
Class K: A fire involving cooking oils. Technically, this is a subclass of Class B. See Fire classes. Cockloft: A structural space above ceiling and below rafters, often connecting adjacent occupancies and permitting fire to spread laterally, often unseen. Collapse zone: The area around a structure that would contain debris if the building were to collapse. This is generally 1.5x the height of the structure. Combustion: When materials smolder or burn. See main article for technical details. Commissioner: Civilian administrator of the fire services, appointed or elected in some cities, such as the New York City Fire Commissioner. Company: A group of firefighters organized as a team, led by a fire officer, and equipped to perform certain operational functions. The firefighters in a company nearly always work on the same vehicle, though on different shifts. Compare with platoon and unit. Company officer : A fire officer, typically a lieutenant or captain, who leads a team of two or more firefighters in a tactical company. Compartment fire: An "Isolated" fire, or a fire which is "boxed in" or "closed off" from the rest of the structure. An example of this is a fire in a room where all the windows and doors are closed preventing the fire from spreading to other rooms. Confined space: Usually refers to a "confined space rescue." This involves a space that may have very limited access, little or no room to maneuver, poor air or light, and very likely other hazards. A trench cave in, a collapsed building, a sewer or utility vault rescue, or a problem in and around industrial equipment are some examples. Conflagration: A large, typically urban, fire involving numerous structures; loosely defined as enveloping an area equivalent to one or more square blocks. Compare with firestorm. Contained Fire: A fire restricted to boundaries established by fire fighters. Crash tender: A pump capable of spraying foam used at airports. Crew resource management (CRM): Training developed by NASA based on the concept that the primary cause of the majority of aviation accidents is human error and problems with interpersonal communication in particular. The training has been adapted for the fire service and teaches firefighters the correct way to question orders on an emergency scene. It also helps supervisors understand that the questioning of an order should not be interpreted as a threat to their authority. Cross lay: Arrangement of hose on a pumper such that it can be quickly unloaded from either side of the apparatus; often pre connected to a pump outlet and equipped with a suitable nozzle. Also known as Mattydale Lay.
Can: Slang for a pressurized water can. Career firefighter: (U. S.) A person whose primary employment is as a firefighter for a municipality or other agency or company and who derives the majority of his earned income working in the fire service. See also wholetime firefighter (U. K.)

Call firefighter: In the U. S., call firefighters respond as needed on a part time basis to all types of emergencies. Call firefighters train with their local engine companies in their districts. Call firefighters are used in three different ways. “First Responder" call firefighter units, are those units that are staffed entirely by paid call firefighters. These firefighters respond to all emergency incidents within their jurisdictional areas and are supported by full time companies from adjoining jurisdictions. "Supplemental" call firefighter units are those units that staff a second engine company from a station that is also staffed by a full time company. These units respond to all multi unit responses in their district, and cover the station when the career companies are committed. "Augmentation" call firefighters are assigned to an existing career company and respond directly to the scene to augment that company's staffing. See also Retained firefighter (U. K.)
Can: Slang for a pressurized water can. Career firefighter: (U. S.) A person whose primary employment is as a firefighter for a municipality or other agency or company and who derives the majority of his earned income working in the fire service. See also wholetime firefighter (U. K.)
Charge a hose: To make water pressure available on a hose in final preparation for its use. This is done on the scene after the hose is deployed, but prior to entering the fire danger area. (Also known as "charge the line")
Charged hose: A hose that is filled with water and pressurized; ready to use. The charged line is much more difficult to move than one not yet charged. Chauffeur: See Engineer. Chief officer: An executive officer of the fire department, as contrasted with a tactical company officer. Typical chief officers include the fire chief, assistant and deputy fire chief, battalion or division or district chiefs (who may each supervise fire captains), watch commanders and the Scottish Fire Master. Chimney fire: Fast and intense fire in a chimney flue in which accumulated creosote and other combustion byproducts ignite. These often extend fire into the roof or attic, especially with defective chimneys or when the mortar becomes hot enough to melt. Class A: A fire involving combustibles such as wood, paper, and other natural materials. See Fire classes. Class B: A fire involving flammable liquids such as gasoline or other fuels. See Fire classes. Class C: An electrical fire. See Fire classes. Class D: A fire involving metals, such as sodium, titanium, magnesium, potassium, uranium, lithium, plutonium and calcium. See Fire classes. Class E (Europe/Australia): A composite Class A/Class B fire that is not also a Class C fire. Class F (Europe/Australia): See Class K.
Class K: A fire involving cooking oils. Technically, this is a subclass of Class B. See Fire classes. Cockloft: A structural space above ceiling and below rafters, often connecting adjacent occupancies and permitting fire to spread laterally, often unseen. Collapse zone: The area around a structure that would contain debris if the building were to collapse. This is generally 1.5x the height of the structure. Combustion: When materials smolder or burn. See main article for technical details. Commissioner: Civilian administrator of the fire services, appointed or elected in some cities, such as the New York City Fire Commissioner. Company: A group of firefighters organized as a team, led by a fire officer, and equipped to perform certain operational functions. The firefighters in a company nearly always work on the same vehicle, though on different shifts. Compare with platoon and unit. Company officer : A fire officer, typically a lieutenant or captain, who leads a team of two or more firefighters in a tactical company. Compartment fire: An "Isolated" fire, or a fire which is "boxed in" or "closed off" from the rest of the structure. An example of this is a fire in a room where all the windows and doors are closed preventing the fire from spreading to other rooms. Confined space: Usually refers to a "confined space rescue." This involves a space that may have very limited access, little or no room to maneuver, poor air or light, and very likely other hazards. A trench cave in, a collapsed building, a sewer or utility vault rescue, or a problem in and around industrial equipment are some examples.

Call firefighter: In the U. S., call firefighters respond as needed on a part time basis to all types of emergencies. Call firefighters train with their local engine companies in their districts. Call firefighters are used in three different ways. “First Responder" call firefighter units, are those units that are staffed entirely by paid call firefighters. These firefighters respond to all emergency incidents within their jurisdictional areas and are supported by full time companies from adjoining jurisdictions. "Supplemental" call firefighter units are those units that staff a second engine company from a station that is also staffed by a full time company. These units respond to all multi unit responses in their district, and cover the station when the career companies are committed. "Augmentation" call firefighters are assigned to an existing career company and respond directly to the scene to augment that company's staffing. See also Retained firefighter (U. K.)
Can: Slang for a pressurized water can. Career firefighter: (U. S.) A person whose primary employment is as a firefighter for a municipality or other agency or company and who derives the majority of his earned income working in the fire service. See also wholetime firefighter (U. K.)
Charge a hose: To make water pressure available on a hose in final preparation for its use. This is done on the scene after the hose is deployed, but prior to entering the fire danger area. (Also known as "charge the line")
Charged hose: A hose that is filled with water and pressurized; ready to use. The charged line is much more difficult to move than one not yet charged. Chauffeur: See Engineer. Chief officer: An executive officer of the fire department, as contrasted with a tactical company officer. Typical chief officers include the fire chief, assistant and deputy fire chief, battalion or division or district chiefs (who may each supervise fire captains), watch commanders and the Scottish Fire Master.

Call firefighter: In the U. S., call firefighters respond as needed on a part time basis to all types of emergencies. Call firefighters train with their local engine companies in their districts. Call firefighters are used in three different ways. “First Responder" call firefighter units, are those units that are staffed entirely by paid call firefighters. These firefighters respond to all emergency incidents within their jurisdictional areas and are supported by full time companies from adjoining jurisdictions. "Supplemental" call firefighter units are those units that staff a second engine company from a station that is also staffed by a full time company. These units respond to all multi unit responses in their district, and cover the station when the career companies are committed. "Augmentation" call firefighters are assigned to an existing career company and respond directly to the scene to augment that company's staffing. See also Retained firefighter (U. K.)

Collapse zone: The area around a structure that would contain debris if the building were to collapse. This is generally 1.5x the height of the structure. Combustion: When materials smolder or burn. See main article for technical details. Commissioner: Civilian administrator of the fire services, appointed or elected in some cities, such as the New York City Fire Commissioner. Company: A group of firefighters organized as a team, led by a fire officer, and equipped to perform certain operational functions. The firefighters in a company nearly always work on the same vehicle, though on different shifts. Compare with platoon and unit. Company officer : A fire officer, typically a lieutenant or captain, who leads a team of two or more firefighters in a tactical company. Compartment fire: An "Isolated" fire, or a fire which is "boxed in" or "closed off" from the rest of the structure. An example of this is a fire in a room where all the windows and doors are closed preventing the fire from spreading to other rooms. Confined space: Usually refers to a "confined space rescue." This involves a space that may have very limited access, little or no room to maneuver, poor air or light, and very likely other hazards. A trench cave in, a collapsed building, a sewer or utility vault rescue, or a problem in and around industrial equipment are some examples. Conflagration: A large, typically urban, fire involving numerous structures; loosely defined as enveloping an area equivalent to one or more square blocks. Compare with firestorm. Contained Fire: A fire restricted to boundaries established by fire fighters. Crash tender: A pump capable of spraying foam used at airports. Crew resource management (CRM): Training developed by NASA based on the concept that the primary cause of the majority of aviation accidents is human error and problems with interpersonal communication in particular. The training has been adapted for the fire service and teaches firefighters the correct way to question orders on an emergency scene. It also helps supervisors understand that the questioning of an order should not be interpreted as a threat to their authority.

Call firefighter: In the U. S., call firefighters respond as needed on a part time basis to all types of emergencies. Call firefighters train with their local engine companies in their districts. Call firefighters are used in three different ways. “First Responder" call firefighter units, are those units that are staffed entirely by paid call firefighters. These firefighters respond to all emergency incidents within their jurisdictional areas and are supported by full time companies from adjoining jurisdictions. "Supplemental" call firefighter units are those units that staff a second engine company from a station that is also staffed by a full time company. These units respond to all multi unit responses in their district, and cover the station when the career companies are committed. "Augmentation" call firefighters are assigned to an existing career company and respond directly to the scene to augment that company's staffing. See also Retained firefighter (U. K.)

Call firefighter: In the U. S., call firefighters respond as needed on a part time basis to all types of emergencies. Call firefighters train with their local engine companies in their districts. Call firefighters are used in three different ways. “First Responder" call firefighter units, are those units that are staffed entirely by paid call firefighters. These firefighters respond to all emergency incidents within their jurisdictional areas and are supported by full time companies from adjoining jurisdictions. "Supplemental" call firefighter units are those units that staff a second engine company from a station that is also staffed by a full time company. These units respond to all multi unit responses in their district, and cover the station when the career companies are committed. "Augmentation" call firefighters are assigned to an existing career company and respond directly to the scene to augment that company's staffing. See also Retained firefighter (U. K.)

Call firefighter: In the U. S., call firefighters respond as needed on a part time basis to all types of emergencies. Call firefighters train with their local engine companies in their districts. Call firefighters are used in three different ways. “First Responder" call firefighter units, are those units that are staffed entirely by paid call firefighters. These firefighters respond to all emergency incidents within their jurisdictional areas and are supported by full time companies from adjoining jurisdictions. "Supplemental" call firefighter units are those units that staff a second engine company from a station that is also staffed by a full time company. These units respond to all multi unit responses in their district, and cover the station when the career companies are committed. "Augmentation" call firefighters are assigned to an existing career company and respond directly to the scene to augment that company's staffing. See also Retained firefighter (U. K.)
Can: Slang for a pressurized water can. Career firefighter: (U. S.) A person whose primary employment is as a firefighter for a municipality or other agency or company and who derives the majority of his earned income working in the fire service. See also wholetime firefighter (U. K.)
Charge a hose: To make water pressure available on a hose in final preparation for its use. This is done on the scene after the hose is deployed, but prior to entering the fire danger area. (Also known as "charge the line")
Charged hose: A hose that is filled with water and pressurized; ready to use. The charged line is much more difficult to move than one not yet charged. Chauffeur: See Engineer. Chief officer: An executive officer of the fire department, as contrasted with a tactical company officer. Typical chief officers include the fire chief, assistant and deputy fire chief, battalion or division or district chiefs (who may each supervise fire captains), watch commanders and the Scottish Fire Master. Chimney fire: Fast and intense fire in a chimney flue in which accumulated creosote and other combustion byproducts ignite. These often extend fire into the roof or attic, especially with defective chimneys or when the mortar becomes hot enough to melt. Class A: A fire involving combustibles such as wood, paper, and other natural materials. See Fire classes. Class B: A fire involving flammable liquids such as gasoline or other fuels. See Fire classes. Class C: An electrical fire. See Fire classes. Class D: A fire involving metals, such as sodium, titanium, magnesium, potassium, uranium, lithium, plutonium and calcium. See Fire classes. Class E (Europe/Australia): A composite Class A/Class B fire that is not also a Class C fire. Class F (Europe/Australia): See Class K.
Class K: A fire involving cooking oils. Technically, this is a subclass of Class B. See Fire classes. Cockloft: A structural space above ceiling and below rafters, often connecting adjacent occupancies and permitting fire to spread laterally, often unseen. Collapse zone: The area around a structure that would contain debris if the building were to collapse. This is generally 1.5x the height of the structure. Combustion: When materials smolder or burn. See main article for technical details. Commissioner: Civilian administrator of the fire services, appointed or elected in some cities, such as the New York City Fire Commissioner. Company: A group of firefighters organized as a team, led by a fire officer, and equipped to perform certain operational functions. The firefighters in a company nearly always work on the same vehicle, though on different shifts. Compare with platoon and unit. Company officer : A fire officer, typically a lieutenant or captain, who leads a team of two or more firefighters in a tactical company. Compartment fire: An "Isolated" fire, or a fire which is "boxed in" or "closed off" from the rest of the structure. An example of this is a fire in a room where all the windows and doors are closed preventing the fire from spreading to other rooms. Confined space: Usually refers to a "confined space rescue." This involves a space that may have very limited access, little or no room to maneuver, poor air or light, and very likely other hazards. A trench cave in, a collapsed building, a sewer or utility vault rescue, or a problem in and around industrial equipment are some examples.

Collapse zone: The area around a structure that would contain debris if the building were to collapse. This is generally 1.5x the height of the structure. Combustion: When materials smolder or burn. See main article for technical details. Commissioner: Civilian administrator of the fire services, appointed or elected in some cities, such as the New York City Fire Commissioner. Company: A group of firefighters organized as a team, led by a fire officer, and equipped to perform certain operational functions. The firefighters in a company nearly always work on the same vehicle, though on different shifts. Compare with platoon and unit. Company officer : A fire officer, typically a lieutenant or captain, who leads a team of two or more firefighters in a tactical company.

An example of this is a fire in a room where all the windows and doors are closed preventing the fire from spreading to other rooms. Confined space: Usually refers to a "confined space rescue." This involves a space that may have very limited access, little or no room to maneuver, poor air or light, and very likely other hazards. A trench cave in, a collapsed building, a sewer or utility vault rescue, or a problem in and around industrial equipment are some examples. Conflagration: A large, typically urban, fire involving numerous structures; loosely defined as enveloping an area equivalent to one or more square blocks. Compare with firestorm. Contained Fire: A fire restricted to boundaries established by fire fighters. Crash tender: A pump capable of spraying foam used at airports. Crew resource management (CRM): Training developed by NASA based on the concept that the primary cause of the majority of aviation accidents is human error and problems with interpersonal communication in particular. The training has been adapted for the fire service and teaches firefighters the correct way to question orders on an emergency scene. It also helps supervisors understand that the questioning of an order should not be interpreted as a threat to their authority. Cross lay: Arrangement of hose on a pumper such that it can be quickly unloaded from either side of the apparatus; often pre connected to a pump outlet and equipped with a suitable nozzle. Also known as Mattydale Lay.
Can: Slang for a pressurized water can. Career firefighter: (U. S.) A person whose primary employment is as a firefighter for a municipality or other agency or company and who derives the majority of his earned income working in the fire service. See also wholetime firefighter (U. K.)

Charged hose: A hose that is filled with water and pressurized; ready to use. The charged line is much more difficult to move than one not yet charged. Chauffeur: See Engineer. Chief officer: An executive officer of the fire department, as contrasted with a tactical company officer. Typical chief officers include the fire chief, assistant and deputy fire chief, battalion or division or district chiefs (who may each supervise fire captains), watch commanders and the Scottish Fire Master. Chimney fire: Fast and intense fire in a chimney flue in which accumulated creosote and other combustion byproducts ignite. These often extend fire into the roof or attic, especially with defective chimneys or when the mortar becomes hot enough to melt. Class A: A fire involving combustibles such as wood, paper, and other natural materials. See Fire classes. Class B: A fire involving flammable liquids such as gasoline or other fuels. See Fire classes. Class C: An electrical fire. See Fire classes. Class D: A fire involving metals, such as sodium, titanium, magnesium, potassium, uranium, lithium, plutonium and calcium.
