Considering timeline about we dealing with, propose three categories: past which mostly refers analysis, present encompasses monitoring future covering forecasting. Each categories described detail, confirmed related work examples, enriched challenges directions. Dealing forest very complex, therefore it difficult deal all proposed at same time. However, due growing amount available increasing interest scientists research fields, there more examples intertwined areas fires. It expected will be possible, real time, handle various data forecast danger high spatial temporal resolution.
