Abstract : Forests are one of the most important natural resources on this earth and they offer huge potential share in our GDP by producing many consumables. This paper deals with the detection of fire smoke plume in forests using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and then sending immediate information to EFS&T inorder to protect our forests. Because it prevents the spreading of fire in forest and also gives early information to EFS&T in short time. Controlling the surface fire gives the result as controlling the crown fire automatically. The existing vision based method with image processing technology is not able to find the surface fire. Because the camera was not able to capture surface fire images correctly for processing. This proposed method uses UAV (hexacopter) microcontroller and sensors were used. The system is very easy to operate, can operate on wide range of area and with good stability and reliability.
