The Examination of the Economical Effectiveness of Forest Fire Suppression by Using Theoretical Fire Spread Models
Absztrakt :
It is commonly known that firefighting is very expensive solution; therefore it isn’t
useless to study it by the criteria of efficiency. But the meaning of efficiency for fire
managers can be different from the meaning of efficiency for economists. From an
economic viewpoint, it is stricter than from a technical view. Method: this research
used geometric aspects of the fire spread created rectangular and concentric circles
models and used basic mathematic calculations and logical conclusions. Results
and discussion: The rectangular model shows the criteria of economic efficiency of
firefighting. Moreover, the results from rectangular model can be transferred also
to the section of concentric circles model. Based on the concentric circle model we
can define both the economic efficiency of fighting forest fire and minimal criteria
of successful suppression expressed by the elementary information we have regarding the actual fire.
