Abstract: ABSTRACT A probabilistic fire‐protection siting model is described that places capacitated stations, engine companies, and truck companies in such a way that the population or calls covered by an engine and a truck with a joint reliability of at least α is maximized. Probabilistic constraints are developed and numerical equivalents are found for the probability requirement for proximate server presence. The multiple co‐location of servers at stations and the use of stations with a limited capacity are also investigated. Structures are utilized that preserve the integer properties when the model is solved by linear programming relaxation.
