                 Term                              Definition
                                                   management actions to be used to meet the defined objectives.
                 Fire prone                        Fire prone is an assessment of an area of vegetation that has the
                                                   potential to burn under suitable conditions.
                 Fire risk                         The potential for a fire event to impact on infrastructure, cultural,
                                                   historical or ecological assets within or contiguous with a
                                                   bushland area.
                 Fire trail / Fire Management      A track, path or trail capable of being used as a point to conduct
                 Line                              fire prevention or suppression activities. Fire trails are primarily
                                                   for use by vehicles such as four-wheel drives and other rural fire
                                                   appliances.
                 Foliage Projected Cover           Measure of canopy projection for a given community or area
                 (FPC)                             given as a percentage of the total area.
                 Fuel Free Zone (FFZ)              A Fuel Free Zone is an area of a firebreak, which contains
                                                   virtually no fuel. This area usually consists of the firebreak
                                                   proper and provides a fuel free zone against a property boundary
                                                   of a built asset.
                 Fuel Load                         Estimated volume of combustible fuels available in a defined
                                                   area of vegetation type expressed as tonnes per hectare (t/ha).
                 Fuel matrix                       Fuel matrix is a description of the types and locations of fuels
                                                   within an area of vegetation e.g. a fuel matrix may consist of
                                                   ground fuel made up of leaves and sticks as well as suspended
                                                   fuels in shrubs and bark in trees.
                 Fuel Reduced Zone (FRZ)           An area where available fine fuel or standing vegetation has
                                                   been removed or reduced to a height less than 100 mm.
                 Hazard                            A hazard is fuel complexes defined by volume, type, condition,
                                                   arrangement and location that determine both the ease and
                                                   probability of ignition, and fire suppression difficulty.
                 Inter Burn Period                 The minimum or otherwise recommended time stated in years,
                                                   between successive application of planned burns and occurrence
                                                   of wildfire in an area.
                 Ladder Fuels                      Arrangement of combustible material or vegetation structure
                                                   providing potential for carrying fire vertically into the vegetation
                                                   canopy. (see “suspended fuels”)
                 Management Plan                   A document relating to a specific area, outlining the variety of
                                                   values and issues contained in that area and which describes the
                                                   management objectives and actions to enable ongoing
                                                   management of that area. Specific plans for fire management,
                                                   weed management, visitor management etc. relate to single
                                                   issues and form part of an integrated Management Plan for a
                                                   specific area.
                 Planned burn                      A fire which has been ignited by a person authorised under a
                                                   QFRA “permit to burn” in an area of standing vegetation. The
                                                   fire should conform to specific timing, extent and intensity as
                                                   prescribed in a Fire Management Plan and is under the control of
                                                   the authorised person.
