007. Navigating wildfire lingo & ableist language
Kaileen and Jonathan do their best to explain why machine learning is evidently far more difficult than they'd hoped, and what this means for our pursuit of up-to-date fire weather data. Then we explore the vast world of language- specifically ableist language and wildfire jargon.
[00:01:01] We start off with an update on our machine learning conversation
[00:03:47] Pivoting to a manual solution (for now)
[00:05:27] What is ableist language?
[00:06:40] Discussing how we use "wild" in everyday conversation
[00:08:26] The importance of clear, deliberate communication
[00:10:14] Confusing wildfire terminology
[00:13:09] What are the different fire ranks?
[00:14:07] What is fire candling and fire spotting?
[00:14:57] Jonathan gets excited about the term "organized fire"
[00:16:58] BCWS admits they use confusing terms!
[00:17:27] Comparing past wildfire terminology to today's
[00:18:36] Outro
