This paper presents a comprehensive dataset and framework for improving wildfire monitoring and prediction through multi-task deep learning models. The dataset includes over 3,500 remote sensing images, along with auxiliary data such as weather, topography, land cover, and fuel information, covering wildfires in the contiguous U.S. from January 2017 to October 2021. The dataset supports three tasks: active fire detection, daily burned area mapping, and wildfire progression prediction. Detection tasks use pixel-wise classification of multi-spectral, multi-temporal images, while prediction tasks integrate satellite and auxiliary data to model fire dynamics. This dataset and its benchmarks provide a foundation for advancing wildfire research using deep learning.

This paper makes it possible to better track and predict wildfires by combining lots of Earth observation data with special computer models. The data includes many pictures taken from space, along with information about weather, land, and fuel. This helps scientists understand how fires start, grow, and spread. The goal is to improve our ability to detect when a fire is happening, where it’s burning, and where it might go next.
