Abstract
In forest fire fighting, time and effort required to control a fire increase if fire containment effort is delayed. The problem of scheduling multiple resources employed as parallel identical or non-identical processors in order to contain N >= 2 fires may be tackled using the concept of deteriorating jobs. In this paper, the above problem is stated and a model is formulated, the criterion being to maximize the total remaining value of the burnt areas and a heuristic algorithm to tackle this NP-hard problem is proposed.
