Which of the following is NOT one of the six call for fire elements?

• A. Target Location
• B. Observer Identification
• C. Method of Fire and Control
• D. Weather Information

Answer: (D)

Understanding what goes into a call for fire helps you identify what information is essential for delivering fires. The six elements cover who is calling, the plan or intent, where the target is, what the target is, and how the fire will be delivered and controlled. Weather information, while important for accuracy and safety, isn’t included in those six required items. It’s information that can affect fire planning and adjustments, but it’s provided separately from the call for fire itself rather than as a core element of the CFF. The other elements—observer identity, target location, target description, and the method of fire and control—are the ones that must be communicated in a standard CFF.
