| Fill Site | The area where tenders are filled or obtain their water. |
| Fire Flow Capacity | The amount of water available or amount that the water distribution system is capable of flowing. |
| Fire Hazard | Any condition, situation, or operation that could lead to the ignition of unwanted combustion or result in proper combustion becoming uncontrolled. |
| Fire Hose | A flexible conduit used to convey water or other agent from a water source to the fire. |
| Fire Hydraulics | The principles associated with the storage and transfer of water in firefighting activities. |
| Fire Load | The amount of heat generated when the building and its contents burn. |
| Fire-Resistive Rating | The time in hours that a material or assembly can withstand fire exposure. Fire-resistive ratings are usually provided for testing organizations. The ratings are expressed in a time frame, usually hours or portions thereof. |
| Fire Shelter | A last-resort protective device for wildland firefighters caught or trapped in an environment where a firestorm or blowup is imminent. |
| Fire Stopping | Pieces of material, usually wood or masonry, placed in stud or joist channels to slow the extension of fire. |
| Fire Stream | The water or other agent as it leaves the hose and nozzle toward its objective, usually the fire. |
| Fire Tetrahedron | Four-sided pyramid-like figure used to depict the four ingredients necessary for combustion: heat, fuel, oxygen, and chemical chain reaction. |
| Friction Loss | Measurement of friction in a system such as a hoseline. |
| Friction | Caused by the rubbing mof materials against each other while in movement and converts or robs some of the movement energy into heat energy. |
| Flammable Limits | The concentration level of a substance at which it will burn. Flammable limits are expressed as a percent range mixed in air. |
| Flanks of the Fire | The sides of a wildland fire running from the start point up each side to the end of the fire running into unburned areas. |
| Flash point | The lowest temperature at which a fuel off-gases an ignitable mixture that, when introduced to a spark or flame, will briefly ignite, but not sustain burning. |
| Flashover | A sudden event that occurs when all the contents of a container reach their ignition temperature nearly simultaneously. |
| Flow | The rate or quantity of water delivered, usually measured in gallons per minute or liters per minute. |
| Fluoroprotein Film-Forming Foam | Combines protein with the film-forming fluorinated surfactants of AFFF to improve on the qualities of both types of foam. |
| Fly Ladder | That portion of a ladder that extends out from the bed ladder. Also called fly section. |
| Foam | An aggregate of gas-filled bubbles formed from aqueous solutions of specially formulated concentrated liquid foaming agents. |
| Fog Nozzle | Delivers either a fixed spray pattern or variable combination of straight stream and spray patterns. |
| Forcible Entry | The fire scene task of gaining entry to a building or secured area by disabling, breaking, or going around locking and security devices. |
| Freelancing | The act of working alone or performing a task for which the firefighter has not been assigned. |
| Freezing Point | The temperature at which liquids become solids. |
| Flammable Range | Ratio of gas to air that will sustain fire if exposed to flame or spark. |
