The economic rationale for the use of forest fire gruntomet's machine to fight forest fires

Conducted economic assessment of using forest fire gruntomet's machines for the prevention and fight against forest fires. According to the calculations, the annual economic effect from introduction of the developed experimental model of forest fire gruntomet's machine is 10529,21 USD, the payback period of additional capital investments in this case is equal to 0.4 year, which proves the effectiveness and economic feasibility of use of instruments of this type in the forestry sector. The prototype was a forest fire gruntomet's machine, describes the process of operation of the unit and assess its performance. Forest fire protomateria the machine can work in different categories of forest land (plantations, clear cuts, fire scars, etc.), on sandy, loamy soils without stony inclusions with thickness of litter of not more than 6 cm and to perform the full range of operations on suppression of forest ground fires and creation of fire lines, even in the presence in the soil of the individual inclusions in the form of stumps, fallen trees.
