County Commission Chairman David Brock Smith said Monday he hopes two things that have hap- pened since a tax hike was voted down last May will make a differ- ence come November. The county is asking for less this time — $3.2 million over three years. And a new law allows the gover- nor to declare an emergency in counties where citizens refuse to pay for minimum public services. That opens the way for county officials to impose new taxes. If voters turn down the levy, Curry County is in line to be the first test of the new law.

CUSDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station, 240 W Prospect Road, Fort Collins, CO 80526, USA. DCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. Interagency Hotshot Crews (IHCs) are a crucial firefighting suppression resource in the United States. These crews travel substantial distances each year and work long and arduous assignments that can cause accumulated fatigue. Current dispatching practices for these crews are supposed to send the closest resource while adhering to existing fatigue- management policies. In this research, we designed a simulation process that repeatedly implements an optimisation model to assign crews to suppression requests. This study examines the potential effects of using an optimisation approach to shorten seasonal crew travel distances and mitigate fatigue. We also examine the potential benefits of coordinating crew-dispatch decisions to meet multiple requests. Results indicate there is substantial room for improvement in reducing travel distances while still balancing crew fatigue; coordinating crew dispatching for multiple requests can increase the assignment efficiency, particularly when both fatigue mitigation and travel distances are jointly optimised. This research indicates implementing an optimisation model for dispatching IHCs is promising.
