Перечень определений терминов и жаргона, используемых в пожаротушении.
Примечание: Данный список не включает пожарное оборудование, то есть инструменты и аппараты, используемые пожарными. Для получения информации о таких терминах обращайтесь к Глоссарию пожарного оборудования. Аналогично, хотя существует значительное пересечение, вам также может быть полезен Глоссарий терминов, связанных с лесными пожарами, для терминологии, специфичной для этого вида пожаротушения. Примечание: Многие из определенных здесь терминов, особенно касающиеся систем работы, названий команд, процедур, карьеры и политики, по-видимому, возникли в США и не обязательно применимы к пожарным и спасательным службам других англоязычных стран. Например, Call Firefighter (США) и Retained Firefighter (Великобритания). Жаргон пожарных включает в себя разнообразный лексикон как общеупотребительных, так и специфических терминов. Одна из сложностей при составлении подобного списка заключается в том, что большая часть терминологии, используемой конкретным подразделением, четко определена в их действующих инструкциях, в результате чего два подразделения могут использовать совершенно разные термины для обозначения одного и того же. Например, в зависимости от того, кого спросить, команда безопасности может называться дежурной командой, RIT, RIG или RIC (команда быстрого реагирования/группа/экипаж) или FAST (команда помощи и поиска пожарных). Более того, подразделение может изменить определение в своих инструкциях, так что в один год это может быть RIT, а в следующий – RIG или RIC. Изменчивость пожарного жаргона не следует рассматривать как правило; некоторые термины достаточно универсальны (например, стояк, гидрант, начальник). Однако следует помнить, что любой термин, определенный здесь, может быть специфичным для конкретного подразделения или региона, или, по крайней мере, более своеобразным, чем может показаться.
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.

Комплект СИЗОД: Комплект средств индивидуальной защиты органов дыхания, состоящий из маски и баллона со сжатым воздухом. Два типа: СИЗОД стандартной продолжительности (SDBA) и СИЗОД увеличенной продолжительности (EDBA). СИЗОД стандартной продолжительности имеет один баллон и обеспечивает подачу воздуха примерно на 30 минут. СИЗОД увеличенной продолжительности имеет два баллона и обеспечивает подачу воздуха около 60 минут. Обратный приток (Backdraft): Пожароопасное явление, вызванное накоплением тепла и тяжелого дыма (несгоревших частиц топлива) в замкнутом пространстве, приводящее к истощению кислорода, а затем повторному поступлению кислорода/воздуха, что завершает треугольник горения и вызывает быстрое воспламенение. Обратное дожигание (Backfiring): Также известное как "контролируемый выжег", это тактика, преимущественно используемая при тушении лесных пожаров, относящаяся к косвенной атаке, заключающаяся в преднамеренном поджоге топлива внутри линии сдерживания. Чаще всего используется для локализации быстро распространяющегося пожара, размещая линии сдерживания в местах, где пожар можно будет тушить в условиях, выгодных для пожарных. Эта техника применялась при быстро распространяющихся городских пожарах, особенно в Сан-Франциско после землетрясения 1906 года. Дожигание с обратной стороны (Back burning): Австралийский термин, обозначающий обратное дожигание, указанное выше. Обратный клапан: Автоматический клапан, используемый в комплектующих шлангов для обеспечения однонаправленного потока воды. Используется в стационарных пожарных вводах (FDC) для спринклерных и сухих стояков, а также в переносных устройствах, используемых при тушении пожаров. Прокладка линии от источника: Прокладка магистральной линии от места пожара к гидранту. (Обычно прокладывается от гидранта к пожару по пути следования). Оседание дыма: Процесс, при котором дым, заполняя помещение, опускается к полу, создавая несколько слоев тепла и дыма с разной температурой – самый холодный слой внизу. Эвакуация по лестнице: Быстрая эвакуация из пожарной комнаты по лестнице. Применяется при непосредственной угрозе вспышки. Взрыв кипящей жидкости с расширением паров (BLEVE): Взрыв сосуда под давлением, содержащего перегретый материал, когда скорость расширения паров превышает пропускную способность предохранительного клапана (например, паровой котел или резервуар для сжиженного газа). Если содержимое является горючим, быстро высвобождающиеся пары могут вызвать вторичный взрыв топлива и воздуха, обычно сильный и зрелищный. "Бомбардировщик": Австралийский термин для самолета, используемого для тушения пожаров с фиксированным крылом. Также называется "водяной бомбардировщик" или "боратовым бомбардировщиком". "Коробка" (alarm box): Почтовый ящик или другая файловая система, содержащая карточку с заранее разработанным планом реагирования на определенный тип происшествия. Например, сообщение о пожаре в здании на улице Some Road будет помечено как "коробка 6"; карточка в "коробке 6" будет содержать список техники из различных пожарных частей, которую следует направить на это происшествие. Назначение "коробки" географической области или конкретному вызову экстренной помощи значительно упрощало процесс отправки необходимой техники и персонала на место происшествия при первоначальном выезде, и помогало избежать неопределенности в отношении того, "какая часть чем располагает" на месте пожара. Позже "коробки" стали содержать процедуры эскалации на "2-ю, 3-ю, 4-ю и т.д. тревогу", в "коробке" будет указана следующая группа техники из различных пожарных частей в муниципалитете или через систему взаимопомощи. Современные системы автоматизированного управления вызовами (CAD) теперь абстрагируют концепцию "коробки" и позволяют запускать определения "коробки" на основе географической области, времени суток, типа происшествия, погодных условий и любой другой запланированной ситуации. Для определенной зоны гидрантов, "Летнее" назначение "коробки" будет содержать обычный состав: пожарный автомобиль, автолестница или башня, и спасательные подразделения. Однако зимой "коробка" может быть изменена (автоматически или вручную), чтобы включить цистерны с водой при первоначальном выезде, для решения проблемы замерзших гидрантов. Во всех случаях, если на месте пожара нет доступных гидрантов для подачи воды, в "коробку" всегда добавляется цистерна. Термин "коробка" происходит от пожарных извещателей, которые были широко распространены в крупных городах более пятидесяти лет. Это была телеграфная система, включающая колокола, которые звонили номером "коробки". Эта система действовала с 1920-х годов (или ранее) и до 1960-х и 1970-х годов в некоторых городах. Бостон был одним из первых (если не первым) крупных городов США, в котором была установлена телеграфная система сигнализации. Они установили ее в 1852 году. Пожарная служба Бостона до сих пор использует эту систему с бумажными лентами и колоколами. Современное использование "карточек "коробки"" на основе воображаемого местоположения "коробки" для выезда или усиления часто известно как система "фантомной коробки". Также устаревший термин для системы сигнализации, которая предшествовала телефонам, где "коробки" располагались на углу улиц в городских районах и были подключены к ближайшей пожарной части. Буферная зона: Создание "буферной зоны" подразумевает использование оборонительных действий в трехмерном пространстве для снижения вероятности воспламенения пожарных газов в непосредственной близости от строения, где находятся пожарные. Это может создать временную и более локальную зону безопасности для пожарных, хотя и обеспечивающую гораздо меньшую защиту, чем "зона безопасности". "Багги" (Buggy): Термин, обычно используемый для обозначения автомобиля начальника, отсылка к тому времени, когда начальник выезжал на конной повозке. При тушении лесных пожаров "багги" – это сленговое название "транспорта для экипажа". Экипажи типа I называются "Interagency Hotshot Crews" (20-21 человек), которым постоянно выделяется транспорт для экипажа, и почти все транспортные средства имеют одинаковую модель с небольшими различиями для различных агентств, имеющих экипажи "Hotshot". Экипажи "Hotshot" имеют два транспортных средства для экипажа и автомобиль руководителя, который представляет собой пикап (одна тонна) с бортовым кузовом. Экипажи "Hotshot" – не единственный тип экипажа, и менее опытные экипажи называются экипажами типа II, которым могут быть не выделены транспортные средства на постоянной основе. Редко можно услышать, чтобы транспорт для экипажа называли по-другому. Практически все на месте лесного пожара скажут "багги". Учебное здание для пожаров: Бывший официальный термин в США для учебного строения для проведения тренировок с огнем. Все еще широко используется в США, хотя термин был отменен для официального использования в США в 2007 году. Автобус: Еще один термин для обозначения машины скорой помощи (Нью-Йорк). Лесной пожар (Bushfire): Австралийский термин для обозначения лесного пожара, указанного ниже.
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.
С
Пожарный по вызову: В США пожарные по вызову реагируют по мере необходимости на неполный рабочий день на все виды чрезвычайных ситуаций. Пожарные по вызову проходят обучение вместе с местными пожарными расчетами в своих районах. Пожарные по вызову используются тремя способами. Подразделения пожарных по вызову "первого реагирования" полностью укомплектованы оплачиваемыми пожарными по вызову. Эти пожарные реагируют на все чрезвычайные происшествия в пределах своей юрисдикции и поддерживаются постоянными расчетами из соседних юрисдикций. Подразделения пожарных по вызову "дополнительного состава" укомплектовывают второй пожарный расчет со станции, которая также укомплектована постоянным расчетом. Эти подразделения реагируют на все вызовы с участием нескольких расчетов в своем районе и обеспечивают дежурство на станции, когда постоянные расчёты заняты. Пожарные по вызову "усиления" прикреплены к существующему постоянному расчету и выезжают непосредственно на место происшествия для усиления его состава. См. также резервный пожарный (Великобритания).
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.

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.

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.)
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.

Главный офицер: Руководящий сотрудник пожарной службы, в отличие от тактического командира расчета. Типичные главные офицеры включают начальника пожарной службы, помощника и заместителя начальника пожарной службы, начальников батальонов, дивизионов или округов (которые могут руководить капитанами пожарной охраны), командиров смен и главного пожарного Шотландии.
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.)

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.

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.)

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.

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.)

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.

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.
Пожар в отсеке: "Изолированный" пожар или пожар, который "заблокирован" или "отрезан" от остальной части конструкции. Примером может служить пожар в комнате, где все окна и двери закрыты, что предотвращает распространение огня в другие комнаты.
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.

Ограниченное пространство: Обычно относится к "спасению в ограниченном пространстве". Это пространство, которое может иметь очень ограниченный доступ, мало места для маневра, плохой воздух или освещение и, вероятно, другие опасности. Обрушение траншеи, обрушение здания, спасение из канализации или коллектора, или проблема с промышленным оборудованием - вот некоторые примеры.

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.

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.

Water hammer: Large, damaging shock wave in a water supply system caused by shutting a valve quickly, or by permitting a vehicle to drive across an unprotected fire hose. Well involved: Term of size up meaning fire, heat and smoke in a structure are so widespread that internal access must wait until fire streams can be applied. Wet down ceremony: A traditional ceremony for the placing of new apparatus in service. There are several versions of this but it usually includes: pushing the old apparatus out, wetting down the new vehicle and pushing it back into the station. It may also include the moving of the bell to the new apparatus, photos, etc. Wet riser: A pipe in a building filled with water, which hoses can be connected to, so that water can be brought to the floor of a fire. Wildfire or wildland fire: Fire in forests, grasslands, prairies, or other natural areas, not involving structure fires (although wildland fires may threaten structures or vice versa see interface zone.)
