The effectiveness of forest fire management systems is usually expressed in terms of loss; namely money spent, area burned and property destroyed. The author describes a method of estimating a lower bound for the monetary benefits of fire management efforts. A measure of effectiveness based on dollars spent, together with subjective estimates concerning the dollar value of timber and property saved, is proposed as a supplement to traditional measures of fire management effectiveness.
