Fire safety is connected to thousands of households at one end and socio-economic development at the other. It is related to the safety of people’s lives and property, as well as the overall situation of national economy and people’s livelihood. The responsibility is heavier than Mount Tai. With the development of modern cities, fire safety risks continue to rise, and the contradiction between the traditional fire protection mode and the fire protection needs under the new situation has become increasingly prominent. In recent years, with the injection of “intelligent factors” such as “Internet of Things”, “cloud computing” and “big data”, the fire protection industry has blossomed with new vitality, and “smart fire protection” has emerged as the times require, the construction of intelligent and three-dimensional social fire prevention and control system with full coverage has been accelerated.

At the same time, China is not only a country with large forest resources, but also a country with frequent forest fires. Therefore, how to apply high-tech methods to forest resource monitoring, early detection, early prediction, and early extinguishment of fire conditions, turning major disasters into small disasters, and turning disasters into non-disasters, has become a major issue in forest fire prevention work.

Currently, in terms of firefighting and rescue, UAVs are mainly used in fire detection, rescue process recording and fire field monitoring. Although the rescue efficiency is improved to a certain extent, the casualties are reduced, how to further expand its application in firefighting and rescue and disaster relief is an important research direction for a long time in the future. With the gradual development of new technologies such as hardware material manufacturing, software technology, integrated energy, etc., UAV has been widely used in agriculture, public security, transportation and other fields, which has also boosted its rapid development.
