Abstract
The New South Wales Fire Brigades (NSWFB) is a premium emergency management organisation. The purpose of the NSWFB is to enhance community safety, quality of life and confidence by minimising the impact of hazards and emergency incidents on the people, environment and economy of NSW. To do this, the organisation must ensure resources are positioned in appropriate locations to access incidents and correct equipment is allocated to each location to best protect the community. This study aims to produce a model to determine this distribution of resources based upon variables of fire risk that can be used for any fire region in NSW.
