Abstract

A device for selecting vehicles to be sent to a site of a fire is provided. The device includes a storage unit provided with a vehicle table and a fire-spreading condition table. Fire-extinguishing ability data and arrival time data for each vehicle are stored in the vehicle table as numerical data. Initial fire power data and fire-spreading rate data are stored in the fire-spreading condition table as numerical data. The device also includes a vehicle organizing part deriving a relationship between total fire-extinguishing ability of vehicles and total fire-spreading power of the fire with respect to time, and selecting vehicles to be sent to the fire site based on the relationship.
