# Fire and Non-Fire Icon Classifications
The **WFS (Wildfire Solution)** includes aclassification tool that assists in distinguishing between fire-related and non-fire heat sources. This tool enables users to accurately categorize detected heat sources, enhancing response precision and reducing false alarms by filtering out non-fire sources, such as industrial activity or natural geothermal features.
OroraTech offers up to 20 different icons to represent fire and non-fire events. These icons help differentiate the nature of detected clusters, enhancing situational awareness and response accuracy.
Example of several Classification Icons in a Global level
For more information on classifying a cluster event, start by selecting a cluster and navigating to its detailed view. Within this view, locate the **Timeline** submenu and click on **Add New Status or Classification**.

This action will open the **Incident Management** box, where you can explore the range of categories and subcategories available. Here, you’ll see options to designate the cluster as a fire, an industrial source, or other heat sources.
Selecting **Fire** classifies the event as a confirmed fire, allowing for timely updates and resource allocation.
Alternatively, choosing **Industry** flags the event as a non-fire heat source related to industrial activity, minimizing false alerts.
****
We encourage users to classify cluster events within or around monitored areas regularly.
Accurate classifications provide a clear, real-time overview for all team members, supporting well-informed decision-making and efficient resource management.
