Summary/Abstract: Forest fires can cause significant damage to human and natural resources. Early detection of forest fire can drastically reduce the consequences. Therefore, the prevention and timely dealing with forest fires becomes essential. The concept of the paper is an effort to present an automated real time early warning system as a tool to prevent forest fires, through detecting early signs of fire using drones, camera, and wireless sensor network for data collection and acquisition of those data at existing Crisis Management Information Systems (CMIS). These systems will help European CMS to implement different methodologies for initial stage warning, localization and organization of the firefighting teams and tactics to suppress the disaster
