Talk:Outline of firefighting

x alarm fire
Where is there a discussion of "one alarm fire", "two alarm fire", etc.? I really expected to find it in Fire fighting as well as the topical navigation box (at the bottom of that article). Perhaps it's called something else? —EncMstr 21:18, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

The "History of" section needs links!
Please add some relevant links to the history section.

Links can be found in the "History of" article for this subject, in the "History of" category for this subject, or in the corresponding navigation templates. Or you could search for topics on Google - most topics turn blue when added to Wikipedia as internal links.

Uncontrolled fire
The section Types of uncontrolled fires contains a "main article" link to Fire. However, that section no longer exists in the target article. Please remove the link or, better yet, replace it with a more appropriate one. Thank you, -- Black Falcon (talk) 06:20, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines
"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:06, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Additional topics?
How about:
 * Fires and firefightinng in literature and culture (media)
 * Medical and other research on firefighting and firefighters
 * Famous firefighters
 * Encore careers of firefighters who have left firefighting
 * How scientific developments led historically to improvements in firefighting best practices.

These could be interesting developments in a more cultural framework around firefighting. MaynardClark (talk) 18:00, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
