editCould someone elucidate the jargon? I'm unfamiliar with the terms 'firelines' (should that be firebreaks?), 'incident response', 'helitack', 'smokejumpers', and the particular use of 'hotshots' (derogatory or professional name?). Some of it can be deduced from context, but only just. -87.211.95.62 (talk) 10:28, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
Fire line: a barrier cut or dug along the edge of a fire to deny it fuel
Helitack: helicopter crew working on fire bringing supplies and resources
Smoke Jumper: A firefighter who parachutes onto fires
Hotshots is their professional name, not a nick-name or derogatory term — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaredhower (talk • contribs) 22:51, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
