Abstract

Two mathematical models are given to determine the best locations for initial attack resources in terms of travel time: a linear programmingmodel and a statistical model. An example for the Clearwater National Forest in Idaho illustrates some of the differences between the two models.

Keywords

initial attack, arrival time, road network, resource locations
