This is a comparative glossary compiled from various sources. Many terms are listed with multiple and sometimes conflicting definitions.
When definitions conflict, one may be marked as the recommended definition. Such recommendations are made by the IRM-PMO to facilitate communication and understanding between wildland fire projects and are not intended to imply the other definitions are incorrect.
Because the glossary is very large, it has been divided alphabetically into sections. To view a section, use the links in the list below.
