Working definition

A source that summarizes, interprets or reports information originating from other sources rather than directly creating the underlying evidence.

In plain language

A source that summarizes, interprets or reports information originating from other sources rather than directly creating the underlying evidence.

Why it matters

Secondary Source is useful because it separates one specific part of wildfire behaviour, exposure, operations or evidence from nearby concepts that can otherwise be mixed together.
