  Forests cover 20.55% of total India's geographic area. This large forest area requires proper timely monitoring and assessment as there are various problems that cause forest degradation and affects the ecosystem to a large extent. Forest Fires are one of these problems. As per the report of Forest Sir of India, 50% of the forest land is prone to fire. The risk of forest fire is at an alarming rate in India, so it requires a proper risk assessment and monitoring report. Geospatial data and tools are employed in this field to manage the forest fires in India. Satellite imagery and aerial photography are used in mapping, high-resolution sensors are used to detect the fires. As these forest fires contribute to environmental consequences, we have most recently observed Amazon forest fires and forest fires in Australia, which are devastating, species have been killed, the land has been destroyed, air pollution and many more ill effects have taken into place. So, this is really an impo
