Abstract: Provided are a forest fire detection system and method capable of determining whether events. The forest fire detection system includes an artificial intelligence-based forest fire detection module configured to detect a forest fire from a captured image using an artificial intelligence model; a monitoring camera configured to monitor a predetermined area; a direction estimation module configured to estimate a direction of the forest fire on a map, using a plurality of forest fire detection images provided from the artificial intelligence-based forest fire detection module and data of the monitoring camera; and a same event determination module configured to determine whether events represented by the plurality of forest fire detection images are the same, based on the estimated direction of the forest fire.
