The back matter of a report is the information that comes after the main body of the report. It is the collection of supplementary materials found at the end of the document which provide additional information on the topic of the report and can be used to draw attention to further discussion. These materials can include an appendix, references and bibliography, a glossary, endnotes, and an index. The back matter can help to provide additional context and understanding to the topics discussed in the document. It can also be used to deepen and expand the conversation, by providing extra detail and clarity.

The acronym for fire size-up is FSIU, which stands for Fire Size-Up Information. Fire size-up is the first step that firefighters take when responding to a fire. It includes assessing the current situation, gathering pertinent information from 9-1-1 operators and other agencies, as well as evaluating the risks and hazards associated with the scene. Firefighters would then use the information gathered to develop their response plan, including the resources needed for the incident and establishing incident objectives. Fire size-up plays an important role in determining the direction of the incident in order to prioritize firefighting activities and ensure the safety of all personnel.

The back matter of a report refers to the material found at the end of a document containing supplementary information that is complementary to the main report. This information typically includes such items as appendices, endnotes, bibliographies, and additional sources of data. The back matter is sometimes referred to as back-of-the-book material, and it helps readers to gain more in-depth knowledge on a specific topic or set of topics that are covered in a given report. Back matter can provide supplementary information in various formats, such as data sets, tables, diagrams and graphics, as well as citations and recommendations for further reading, thus providing readers with information beyond what is written in the main body of the report. Depending on the specific topic and purpose of the report, the back matter may cover both the factual and interpretive elements of the research.
