An Excel file has been uploaded with the relevant information. In rural PEI, there are no fire hydrants in most communities, In the event of a large fire, water has to be shuttled from a water source to the location of the fire. To do this, most departments have trucks that can be used either for pumping water onto a fire, or for shuttling water from the water source to the fire location. Each truek has a maximum pumping capacity (gal/min) and a water capacity (gal). If a truck is shuttling water, there is a time required to fill the truck (they are filled using external pumps at 600 galfmin), and a time required to dump the water out of the truck into an on-site water reservoir, Once a truck is assigned to one task, it remains at that task for the duration of the incident. There is also a mutual aid agreement that all the local departments share that they will respond if required. As they are large trucks, they are limited to a top speed of 60km/hr. If a fire breaks out in 5t. Peters, and the local department requests assistance from all the departments listed, how can water shuttling/pumping be organized so that the maximum amount of water is put on the fire. Assume that water is required for four hours, and that all trucks are initailly fully loaded with water (i.e.: they do not have to fill up before their first trip to the fire scene). For the trucks that are pumping water, their water load is available immediately, but once they have exhausted their supply, they are dependent on the water being shuttled in by other trucks. As water is brought to the scene, it is dumped Pumps such as those shown above are used to into large bags such as the one pictured refill trucks. above. MNote that this is actual data collected from an exercise a few years ago. There is no definitive answer to this problem it will depend on assumptions that you make. You may also have to make some simplifications to the problem. | am looking for the approach to this problem, that your assumptions and simplifications are clear and well explained, and that you solve the problem in the context of these assumptions. | will also be looking for a list of possible factors that could impact on the final result, and the potential impact of these factors on the final result
