FOREST FIRE FIGHTING TERMS HANDBOOK

The present handbook was conceived in the contest of the training activities foreseen by the EU FIRE 4 Project in order to share a common language among the operational teams of the different countries. It will be tested during the S.Ar.Di.Ni.A 2008 Exercise

Please send your comments and suggestions to:

f.micillo@corpoforestale.it comunicazione@protezionecivile.it
The final version of the handbook will include the Greek language

Edited by: Gianfilippo Micillo with the collaboration of G. Castiglione, C. De Lucia, M. Gravano, P. Quinto, G.
Rovere, S. Semeria (Corpo Forestale dello Stato Comando Prov.le Imperia)

Cover: G. Castiglione, M. Gravano Thanks are due to all colleagues who participate to FIRE 4 projects training program for their contribution. Special thanks are due to: Giancarlo Cesti (Corpo Forestale della Valle dAosta), Jean Marie Demirdjian
(Office National des Forts, France), Maria Dolores Rollan Monedero (Spanish Civil Protection), the fire fighting volunteers team of Ospedaletti and the staff of the Italian Civil Protection Department that gave valuable suggestions.
