Abstract

With a limited number of fire brigades, trucks, and planes and the seemingly limitless area of Siberia to protect, we strive to find the optimal placement of fire-fighting resources. We attempt to minimize the costs of fires, including property damages and eradicating the fires. Operations research, spherical geometry, probability, and coding in Python are key components of determining our solution. This is a project that Smokey the Bear would be proud of!
