Abstract The system of regulatory documents defining the processes of decision-making on combating natural fires in the Russian Federation is described and the necessity of creating an information system to support decision-making in this field is justified. The processes of detection and response to natural fires are presented in the form of agency models. The structure of the system of support of decision-making on the use of resources and means for fire elimination, based on the software product “Taiga - Analyst,” is proposed. The system is implemented on the basis of agency simulation modelling and allows to select forces and means for fire control, model its propagation and elimination with reference to the terrain map using a geographic information system. The scheme of decision-making in the fight against natural fires using the proposed system is shown. Participants of fire fighting as agents from the moment of fire detection to the moment of use of forces and means are considered in detail. A comparative analysis is presented with an indication of the technical characteristics of aircraft involved in the fight against natural fires.
