To enable immediate and efficient emergency scheduling during forest fires, we propose a novel emergency scheduling model for such fires subject to priority disaster areas and limited rescue team resources to minimize the total travel distance for rescue teams. Moreover, a hybrid intelligent algorithm integrating genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) is adopted to solve the proposed model. A case study is presented to illustrate the proposed model and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. The goal of this work is to analyze the emergency scheduling problem of forest fires subject to limited rescue teams and priority disaster areas. Both theoretical and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed model can perform effectively the quantitative analysis of an emergency involving forest fires. Such results can help decision makers to make better judgment when dealing with an emergency involving fires. © 2016 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
