Abstract: The proposed research work describes a novel fire detecting drone for forest fires. The fire detecting drone helps the fire rescue officers to detect the fire and navigate it. The normal drone is in general high cost and complicated to operate. The proposed drone designed and developed in this work is economical and simple in operation. The weight of the novel drone is also comparatively less than the normal drone. Thermal imaging camera detects the fire and transmits the data to the rescue officer. GPS module sent the exact location of the fired place to the officer. The viewing angle of normal drone camera is about 50°. But the proposed drone provides up to 170° wide angle. When the drone fly’s over the fired area, the camera streams the live situation of the fired to the smart phone through Wi-Fi. Then the location of the affected area is transmitted to the smart phone through GPS module. Then the drone drop CO2 bomb on the fire, which reduce the fire spreading. Then the rescue squad takes charge for the final fire extinguishing.
