Abstract


Forest fires significantly threaten the environment, society, and economy by harming biodiversity, causing economic losses, displacing communities, and impacting air and water quality. This article presents an innovative real-time monitoring application for forest fires, enhancing early detection, rapid response, and efficient coordination for Brazilian fire brigades. The app offers features such as fire location tracking, weather updates, image and video storage, and fire outbreak management. It aggregates data from various sources to provide valuable information for strategic planning and operational support.
Keywords: Mobile Application, Business Intelligence, Forest Fire, Dry Tropical Forest
