520    "An aging fleet of contracted fixed-wing airtankers and 
       two fatal crashes in 2002 led the U.S. Forest Service to 
       investigate how to recapitalize its fleet of airtankers. 
       The Forest Service asked RAND for assistance in 
       determining the composition of a fleet of airtankers, 
       scoopers, and helicopters that would minimize the total 
       social costs of wildfires, including the cost of large 
       fires and aircraft costs. The research team developed two 
       separate but complementary models to estimate the optimal 
       social cost-minimizing portfolio of initial attack 
       aircraft -- that is, aircraft that support on-the-ground 
       firefighters in containing a potentially costly fire while
       it is still small. The National Model allocates aircraft 
       at the national level, incorporating data on ten years of 
       historical wildfires, and the Local Resources Model 
       provides a more nuanced view of the effect of locally 
       available firefighting resources, relying on resource 
       allocation data from the Forest Service's Fire Program 
       Analysis system. Both models favor a fleet mix dominated 
       by water-carrying scoopers, with a niche role for 
       retardant-carrying airtankers. Although scoopers require 
       proximity to an accessible body of water, they have two 
       advantages: shorter cycle times to drop water and lower 
       cost. Two uncertainties could affect the overall optimal 
       fleet size, however: future improvements in the dispatch 
       of aircraft to fires and the value attributed to fighting 
       already-large fires with aircraft."--Page 4 of cover.
