Talk:Wildfire suppression

message: I am not sure.  This page seems to be mostly long lists and little article detail.  It certianly could use some improvment, should I tag a "Clean Up?" --ShortShadow 05:11, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible Clean Up Needed? 

message: Wildfire already exists and is well-developed (by me, so I might be biased). However, according to naming conventions, "use the most easily recognized name." I'm not sure many people outside of the wildfire business would be able to identify the US term "Wildland fire." MrBell (talk) 20:34, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree with move, and beyond just being a U.S. term, 'wildland fire' is a structural fire service term for brushfires.  It wasn't used much in the forestry, and parks and land management, fields who did most of the major wildfire suppression, which historically is part of forestry and land management work and had little relationship at all to urban structural firefighting until recent years.  The term is now common in the U.S., but only because interface zone fires have made interaction between the two more the norm. 96.239.151.131 (talk) 10:39, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Requested move

message: This article needs a lot of work. I tried streamlining the history portion but with the amount of info about fire use, it might warrant a page of its own. I'll try finishing tweaking the article as I find the time. Beantwo (talk) 02:53, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: New Fire Use Article

message: "San Diego has followed the national trend of cutting out local voices in favor of national syndicated programming to save money, but that raises serious questions about how quickly the public would be served during an emergency, such as a wildfire.
“The more disconnected ownership of media is to the community, the more disastrous the result,” Bartholomew said, adding that the quality of local news is declining with consolidation. He cited a now-infamous example. In North Dakota, a train wreck released poison gas. Clear Channel owned all six stations, which were broadcast out of state. Local and state emergency authorities tried to reach broadcasters to air warnings to the public, but were unable to contact them. “The result was one death and more than 1,000 injuries,” Bartholomew observed."

thread_title: More ideas for expansion

message: Overall a way better article with fire use/history moved. I might suggest bringing back at least part of the United States portion with the other two countries. Beantwo (talk) 22:12, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've done just that, although I also renamed the branched off article to illustrate the fact that it solely describes wildfire suppression from a United States POV: history of wildfire suppression in the United States.  Hope this helps, María (habla conmigo) 21:10, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Still More

message: About the following sentence: 
Prevention of this situation is reinforced with two training protocols, Ten Standard Firefighting Orders and Eighteen Situations That Shout Watch Out, which warn firefighters of potentially dangerous situations, developed in the aftermath of the Mann Gulch fire.
I recently noticed that the article lacked any link or reference for these protocols. On sites like Wildfire Today, these protocols are sometimes referred to; they are called the "10 & 18" for short. Therefore, the existing situation was unsatisfactory. I tried adding a link to this external page which says what the "10 & 18" are, and a little about how they developed. My link was reverted by User:Zackmann08 who said, "external link doesn't go in article body". I'm not sure how to provide a link or reference, without having at least one other editor consider my attempt to be a violation of some Wikipedia policy or editorial standard. However, simply undoing my edit isn't sufficient. So we need to fix the article somehow. How? Oaklandguy (talk) 08:25, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
