Forest is one of the most important resources on the planet and an important foundation for ensuring the sustainable development of human beings. Forest fires are frequent, spreading fast, in wide areas and difficult to control, and difficult to predict and prevent. Monitoring fires in a timely and accurate is critical to protecting the environment and the safety of personal property. This article mainly studies the application and differences between remote sensing technology and RS GIS technology in forest fire monitoring and post-disaster monitoring and treatment. Studies have found that combustion materials, low temperatures in weather, high temperatures, and human activities are the main causes of forest fires. RS technology has the advantages of fast speed, rich information channels, fast update speed, and convenient operation convenience. GIS can operate and comprehensive analysis of multi-factor data, which facilitates the required information in a variety of forms such as graphics, images, numbers, and other forms to meet the needs of each application field and research work. In forest fire rescue, combining RS and GIS technology can improve the efficiency and accuracy of obtaining information about the fire on-site, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of rescue. Research on this article hopes to guide the disaster prevention and mitigation strategy of relevant departments.
