Introduction Forest fires, also known as wildfires, pose a significant and growing threat to ecosystems, human lives, and property. With climate change contributing to hotter and drier conditions, the frequency and intensity of these fires have escalated. Traditional firefighting methods, while effective, often struggle with accessibility and safety challenges. However, recent advancements in drone technology and artificial intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing forest firefighting. This article explores how AI-powered drones enhance fire detection, monitoring, and suppression, offering a glimpse into the future of wildfire management. The Role of Firefighting Drones Firefighting drones are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with advanced technologies to detect, monitor, and combat forest fires. These drones fall into two main categories: surveillance drones and active firefighting drones. Surveillance Drones: Equipped with thermal imaging cameras, high-definition video came...
