Wildfires—also known as forest fires or bushfires—are uncontrolled fires that occur in wilderness or rural areas. They serve as indicators of ecological imbalance and can cause severe damage to wildlife, natural resources, human settlements, and lives. Early detection and continuous monitoring are critical for enabling timely and effective response efforts.

Delineating wildfire-affected areas supports risk assessment, evacuation planning, damage evaluation, ecological impact studies, and efficient resource allocation. In addition to wildfires, this model can also be applied to segment lava flows from volcanic eruptions, enhancing its utility in disaster monitoring and response.
