Abstract
We present a python framework, pyO3F, which aims to support the development of optimization approaches for wildfire related problems. We describe the pyO3F main modules, their interactions, and the information they use to model fire behaviour, fire spread scenarios, and different types of firefighting resources. At the core of pyO3F is the use of the minimum travel time principle in a network with nodes representing locations and arcs representing potential fire transmissions between adjacent locations. Fire spread is the modelled as a set of quickest paths with respect to the fire transmission times associated with the arcs (estimated with fire behaviour models).
We exemplify the use of pyO3F in two types of problems: fire suppression and fire-aware forest management. In the former, it is intended to manage a set of available firefighting resources to minimize the impact of fire (e.g. the burned area). In the latter, it is intended to select a set of prescriptions, one for each forest stand, to maximize the net present value of the timber, taking into account bounds on other ecosystem services (e.g. carbon stock) and fire spread simulations.
