Decision algorithm to prioritize fighting forest fires in mass they occur

Decision algorithm to prioritize of forest fire- fighting in the event of their mass occurrence. The object of research in this article were forest fires and order of extinguish in the event of their mass occurrence. As a results of work was built decision algorithm to prioritize forest fires- fighting. As a base of the algorithm used: 3 Criteria for the assessment of the current fire situation in forests; 3 Priority of the order of forest fires-fighting in the event of their mass occurrence; 3 The level of forest fire protection depending on the target of their appointment. As criteria which characterize the current level of the fire situation in forests used: the number of active fires and their total area, a comprehensive indicator of the degree of fire danger in forests due to weather conditions. The main factors determining the emergency fire situation in forests and measures for its elimination were established. In determining priority of the order of liquidation of fires considered: shape of the ground, remoteness and accessibility of the territory, the presence of forces and fire-fighting equipment, the density of anthropogenic and natural sources of fire, the presence of forces and means of extinguishing fire potential consequences. As the results of the research proposed an algorithm to make informed management decisions of the order of forest fires, depending on the socio-ecological and economic value of forests and their functional purpose.
