Available data show that future changes in global change drivers may lead to an increasing impact of fires on terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. Yet, fire regime changes in highly humanised fire-prone regions are difficult to predict because fire effects may be heavily mediated by human activities We investigated the role of fire suppression strategies in synergy with climate change on the resul...

OBJECTIVES This study investigated the effect restricted sleep has on wildland firefighters' acute cytokine levels during 3 days and 2 nights of simulated physical wildfire suppression work. METHODS Firefighters completed multiple days of physical firefighting work separated by either an 8-h (Control condition; n = 18) or 4-h (Sleep restriction condition; n = 17) sleep opportunity each night....

Tabanan is one of the districts in Bali which has ten sub-districts. The size site will affect handling fire incidents each area district. This relates to response time brigade, who must be able arrive at location after 15 minutes from received report. Travel existing station other remote take more than minutes. considered result delays disasters—the impact adding new fighting posts sub-distric...

In recent years, a large number of fires have ravaged planet Earth. A forest fire is natural phenomenon that destroys the ecosystem in given area. There are many factors cause fires, for example, weather conditions, increase global warming and human action. Currently, there has been growing focus on determining ignition sources responsible fires. Optimization widely applied firefighting problem...

The Firefighter problem and a variant of it, known as Resource Minimization for Fire Containment (RMFC), are natural models for optimal inhibition of harmful spreading processes. Despite considerable progress on several fronts, the approximability of these problems is still badly understood. This is the case even when the underlying graph is a tree, which is one of the most-studied graph struct...
