                 Term                              Definition
                 Rate of spread                    The relative forward movement of a fire thorough an area of
                                                   standing vegetation. Rate of spread is usually based on the
                                                   measurement of the size of the fire perimeter or the increase in
                                                   area of the fire front.
                 Remnant Vegetation                Refers to areas of bushland or other vegetation types that have
                                                   been separated from larger bushland areas within the city.
                 Standing Vegetation               Describes living and dead vegetation above the ground,
                                                   including grasslands, heaths, wetlands, and open woodland to
                                                   closed forest communities.
                 Stick Raking                      Physical removal of dead vegetation and coarse forest litter.
                 Suspended Fuels                   Elements of fine fuel elevated from the normally compressed
                                                   ground layer fuels, and thereby drier and liable to create wind-
                                                   borne "embers"(e.g. bark and leaves caught in branches, dead
                                                   standing vegetation, flammable live vegetation).
                 Wildfire                          Any unplanned or uncontrolled fire occurring in any area of
                                                   standing vegetation.
