Early detection of wildfires and emerging hotspots is crucial to minimize damage and initiate effective firefighting measures. Current monitoring methods are often inadequate, leading to delayed responses and inefficient resource use. Therefore, there’s an urgent need for innovative approaches. This paper explores the consequences of delayed wildfire detection and evaluates the benefits of using a software solution to enhance drone-based wildfire monitoring. The goal is to save costs, increase firefighter safety, protect forests, and improve response times.
