Introduction. The modern development of the manufacturing sector in the economies of the world inevitably leads to an increase in the number of large fires that require significant fire protection resources for successful localization and elimination. For the management of fire protection resources in the organization of extinguishing large fires, the practical issue of determining the sources of resources and the sequence of their concentration for rational use becomes relevant. In turn, the sequence of resource concentration is often determined by geographical principle and does not take into account a number of important criteria. Which in turn leads to a contradiction: on the one hand, the arrival of additional resources increases the tactical potential of fire departments of the management system for large fires, on the other hand, areas from which resources are temporarily used to extinguish a large fire have a reduced tactical potential, which in the event of a fire on their territory will inevitably lead to more significant consequences in the form of damage to society and the state as a whole. The paper solves the problem of creating tools for developing a rational procedure for concentrating additional fire protection resources when extinguishing large fires.
Purpose and objectives. The purpose of the study is to improve the decision-making procedure for managing fire protection resources by applying a model and algorithm to form a rational order of resource concentration when extinguishing large fires.
Methods. The main scientific results of work have been prepared using the methods of the theory of management of organizational systems in combination with the methods of multicriteria optimization.
Results and discussion. The main result of work is an algorithm for the formation of a rational order for the concentration of fire protection resources to extinguish large fires. The introduction of this algorithm at the stage of preliminary planning of actions of fire departments will allow for more criteria to be taken into account in the process of forming the order of concentration of fire protection resources and thereby increase the objectivity of decisions made when organizing the extinguishing of large fires.
Conclusions. The complex of scientific results developed in the article, consisting of a model and an algorithm for forming a rational order of concentration of fire protection resources for extinguishing large fires, will increase the degree of formalization of fire protection resource management processes and opens up new opportunities for analyzing existing concentration orders with the possibility of identifying groups of regions for which there is a similar importance of criteria for evaluating resource sources for which they are informational the basis for a reasonable choice.
