  • Abstract:
  • Wildfires represent an escalating global crisis, threatening ecosystems, human settlements, and economic sta- bility with unprecedented intensity. The convergence of cli- mate change, land-use transformation, and increasing human encroachment into wildland-urban interfaces has amplified both the frequency and severity of fire disasters worldwide. This research presents a comprehensive artificial intelligence frame- work that seamlessly integrates predictive risk assessment with intelligent fire-fighting operations, establishing a closed-loop system for proactive wildfire management. The methodology leverages ISRO’s BHUVAN geospatial platform India’s national geo-portal developed by the Indian Space Research Organisa- tion which provides multi-sensor, multi-platform, and multi- temporal satellite imagery along with critical disaster man- agement services including forest fire SMS alerts, spatial fire information, drought indicators, and land use/land cover data at multiple scales. By integrating BHUVAN-derived datasets with meteorological observations and historical fire records within an ensemble machine learning architecture, the proposed model achieves 89.2% accuracy in predicting high-risk zones across Andhra Pradesh. Beyond risk prediction, the framework incorporates advanced fire-fighting algorithms: a dynamic re- source dispatch system optimizing suppression resource alloca- tion, a multi-agent reinforcement learning framework coordi- nating autonomous aerial suppression units, a genetic algorithm for strategic firebreak placement, and a convolutional neural network achieving 94.3% accuracy for real-time fire detection from aerial imagery. The integrated system demonstrates a 35% improvement in containment efficiency and 42% reduction in potential fire spread compared to conventional approaches. This unified framework represents a paradigm shift from reactive fire suppression to intelligent, data-driven wildfire management, providing a scalable model for implementation in fire-prone regions globally.
