| The following acronyms and terms used in the fire service have been placed here for your benefit. Some of the acronyms and terms may be ones that you have never seen before. This is ok, because they may be used elsewhere throughout our large country. I have included some EMS acronyms due to a large portion of the fire service providing emergency medical services. If you do not find an acronym that you think should be placed on the list, please contact us by submitting a support ticket which is available to all users of Fire Fighter Exams. |
