“…We continue the GIS-study on the forest fire protection [22] [23] [24] [25] [26]. The objective of the present research is to apply our previously developed GIS-methodology, described in the paper [24], to estimate accessibility of forest resources taking into account fire stations' responsibility areas with no-barriers/ barriers modeling.…”

Modern geospatial technologies and permanently updated wildfire monitoring datasets are the basis of improving forest firefighting on different administrative scales. One of the tasks is to use the spatial representation of forest fire locations during the fire season and offer timely suitable technical options for accessing them. We developed a GIS technology to create forest fire ground access routes for special firefighting vehicles moving from a ground firefighting base (fire-chemical station) to the place of the forest fire detection; the technology includes a statistical and geospatial accessibility analysis of the routes. The key data are a transport model consisting of public roads and forest glades on the regional scale. We described the main principles of the transport model construction and usage, and their implementation for the Russian Federal Districts. An access routes database for the 2002–2019 fire seasons, a central part of the Siberian Federal District, was produced and analysed. By using a hot spot analysis, we confirmed that forest fires are poorly accessible away from the centre of the Siberian District. The created road accessibility maps show “a proposed ground access zone” within the key area to fight forest fires for the fire seasons to come.

Regional ground forest fire protection services usually have a fire station infrastructure with firefighting vehicles capable to move by public and forest roads. Location of fire stations is a subject of evaluation at regional scale and a matter of constant research interest. We have discussed infrastructure and transport accessibility, spatial location of fire stations worldwide and in Russia. Location-Allocation ArcGIS-tool and the access routes database for Krasnoyarsk region (archived data of 2002-2022 forest fires detected by MODIS instrument containing 60637 records) were the base of methodology to evaluate fire stations layout. We also used OSM settlements map to analyze new locations as candidates for a fire station. Standard Deviational Ellipse ArcGIS-tool has applied to define an optimal area for current fire station from which routes to nearest fires are built. OSM settlements inside of 1-sd area of ellipse have been put in candidate list of settlements to find new location instead current fire station. Results have been discussed for 3 groups of access routes: 3 hours and less, more than 3 hours and access routes of any time duration according to the Russian forestry rules. Proposed fire station layout has improved forest fires accessibility with OSM-candidates for 39 stations, 20 remain spatially unchanged from the total number of 59. Total regional forest fires accessibility changed from current to proposed layout in absolute values from 47331 to 48905 fires. Analysis for 39 relocated stations showed that new fire stations layout is more optimal than the current one because it provides access to additional 20 % of forest fires with a decrease of average weighted time to reach them by 30 %. Described methodology could make an emergency response during fire hazardous period more effective.
