As the budget and fire resources are limited, it is essential to control these catastrophic fires by making efficient decisions. In this paper, we make use of operations research techniques that allow the optimal assignments of aircrafts to extinguishing wheels and to refueling points, which are two important tasks to be performed by the controller of aerial resources in a forest fire.eng© 2018 Society of American ForestersWildfire managementAerial resource assignmentInteger linear programmingExtinguishing wheelsRefueling points1209 Estadísticajournal article10.1093/forsci/fxy0121938-3738open access
