This in mind, I think it might be nice if we clarify department specific definitions. For instance, The RIT article currently favors the term FAST, and my county has changed the name to RIG. If I were to throw up a definition for "Rapid Intervention Group" on this page, it might be more informative

article. We really don't need to have equipment terms on this list, except perhaps equipment used in the fire service that is not specific to fire fighting, or terms that define equipment use or condition (e.g., high-rise pack, charged line). Maybe we should just bump them over when they arrive?

Hi. I'm interested in finding out whether there is an English term for what I call "smoke evacuation" - the effort of evacuating the smoke and hot gas from the burning site. I am in search for interwiki links for

Certainly all the terms and definitions belong in wiktionary too, but I didn't know wiktionary generally supported glossary structures (other than appendices of placenames, and the like). Tell us more.

Do you guys think this is feasible, or has the glossary taken the structure it currently has because most people who use department relative terms may not know how uncommon they are?
