There is quite a bit of literature out there, for instance sensing from drones, etc. Search on "acoustic tracking wildfires". ( ... and thanks to US DoD's NSIN's 'Beat the Blaze' challenge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arC_dedQ_00 , the scientific, military, EMS, technical, and civil government mentors and subject matter experts provided an unbelievable depth and breadth to out understanding of the domain ).
