An Evaluation of Forest Fire Initial Attack Resources

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1287/inte.14.5.20

To help forest fire managers of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources evaluate initial attack resources, a relatively simple simulation model of the kinds of fires that occur in the province of Ontario and the resources used to fight them was developed. The model was useful in planning the acquisition of air tankers and the future use of air tankers, transport aircraft, and fire fighters, for initial attack purposes.
