  In recent years, the frequency and severity of wildfires have increased dramatically. As the fire seasons become more severe, it is estimated that between 3.5 and 4.5 million square kilometers (km2) of vegetation are consumed annually by flames. This is equal to the size of the European Union as a whole. Traditional IoT monitoring and camera systems are inefficient because they are time-consuming and expensive. In contrast, satellites have evolved into an efficient monitoring infrastructure that enables the observation of vast regions in real time. Additionally, satellite data provides essential information regarding the patterns and preferred trajectories of wildfires.[1]  The main challenge with wildfires is their rapid spread, which makes it difficult to put out and can take days or weeks as the fire continues to grow and expand. Therefore, by anticipating the regions where a fire might occur, firefighters have more time to respond before significant damage occurs. This i...
