After the worst wildfires ever suffered in the southeastern region of Australia from late 2019 to early 2020, devastating damage was caused. Drones equipped with highdefinition & thermal imaging cameras and telemetry sensors (SAA drones) or radio repeaters (RR drones) will be a good aid to fire fighting or real-time monitoring. In this paper, authors establish models and solves that problem, providing solutions to the deployment and operation of two kinds of drones and forming monitoring circles and a communication network to achieve real-time monitoring and early warning of wildfire sensitive areas. This study takes account of safety and economy in the models and the solutions, meanwhile, consider the influence of terrain on the signal range, while being extremely adaptable and robust to possible future events.
