title: MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR JUSTIFYING THE NEED AND DEVELOPING METHODOLOGIES TO IMPROVE FIRE-FIGHTING EFFECTIVENESS DURING LARGE-SCALE WILDFIRES
abstract: The relevance of this study is determined by the increasing scale and damage caused by wildfires, despite a simultaneous decline in their overall number, which highlights the inadequacy of existing methods for calculating firefighting forces and resources in the face of modern challenges. Particular difficulties arise in combating fires in remote areas with limited access to water resources. This study analyzes statistical data from EMERCOM of Russia for 2020–2024, performs a taxonomic analysis
