My qualm about these names

Standard Name: fire_area
Standard_Name: fire_temperature
Standard_Name: fire_radiative_power

is there potential ambiguity as to fire type.
Researchers now separately detect and/or estimate
both "active" and "smouldering" fires.
Is it worth breaking-out your names by fire type?
