Abstract
Wildfire simulation tools focus on how fire spreads in the natural environment. Simulation of fire containment operations can provide managers with a tool that combine wildfire evolution with suppression operations. Combined simulation tools are useful to evaluate different strategies and tactics in firefighting wildfires. This paper presents the modelling and simulation of aerial containment operations integrated into a wildfire spread simulator. A continuous space GisFIRE wildfire spread simulator has been used for fire spread simulation that integrate the aerial operations; and QGIS tool to integrate both simulation tools with geographical information such as air facilities locations, usable bodies of water, and other relevant geo-information. Open source software is a requirement to allow integration of different software packages and usage of OGC standards to represent geographical information.
