Abstract
This article discusses the current problems of forest and steppe fires in the Republic of Kazakhstan, their increasing frequency, impact on ecosystems and the economy, as well as on human safety. The necessity of using modern technologies in fire control and management, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), is discussed. In computer programming, the mathematical formula of the Stefan-Boltzmann law was used to model a thermal process as a physical phenomenon. As a result of calculations in the Python program, the dependence of heat flow on distance and smoke coefficient was confirmed. In the course of the study, the results of calculating thermal radiation based on the methodology for evaluating optical and thermal indicators for early fire prevention were obtained. It has been shown that the integration of UAVs and telemetry improves control over fire conditions, increases the accuracy of fire forecasting by promptly obtaining information in real time. This approach is proposed as an important way to protect ecosystems and human life.
