Forest fires are often uncontrollable and when this happens, the fire will burn anything nearby for two reasons, one of which is burning naturally or burning caused by humans. One of the man-made fires deliberate by humans is the burning used by the community around the forest to open or clear agricultural or plantation land. The community feels that clearing land with fire does not require a long time and is more economical, if the use of fire is not used properly it can cause the forest to burn. Forest fires in Riau area are still classified as minimal or fires rarely occur. However, the community is at least aware of the forest fires in Riau due to a lack of media information about where the fire hotspots occurred. With this application, it can help the public to better know where the hotspots have been burned. This application consists of 2 levels of access, namely: admin and user. For admins and users, the manufacturing process uses the Android Studio application with Java as the programming language, this application uses Firebase as its database to find out the location of fire hotspots using the Google Maps API. Testing on the application is created to test whether the application has run as desired. Test results using white box testing method. Index Terms: Monitoring, Fire, Android, Firebase, Google Maps. 1. Introduction Forest fires are the burning of forest areas or land, both in large and small areas. Forest fires are often out of control, if this happens, forest fires will burn whatever is in the vicinity and spread to the wind. There are two causes of fires occur, namely natural fires and fires caused by humans. One of the human-caused fires is the burning of communities around the forest to reclaim or clear agricultural land or artificial forests. The community believes that the use of fire to clear land will not take long and is more economical, if a fire is not used properly it can cause forest fires. In recent years, many cases of forest fires have been reported, and we see them in various media or our daily lives, including electronic media and newspaper media [1]. These fires can occur anywhere, whether they occur in buildings, residential areas, shopping centers, or forests. The causes of these fires are very diverse, for example, people who accidentally throw cigarette butts or intentionally burn forests can cause widespread fires. Many losses are experienced by the community due to a lack of awareness of the dangers of fire. Losses due to fire accidents are thick smoke and even death due to fire. One way to monitor or monitor forest fires is by using a GIS application [2]. GIS (Geographic Information System) is a computer-based information system that is used to process and store geographic data or information. GIS can be used to identify disaster-prone areas, especially forest fires. Forest fires in the Riau area are prone to fires or frequent fires. However, the community is minimally aware of the existence of forest fires in the vicinity because of the lack of information media about where the hotspots of forest fires occur. This application, it can help the people of Samboja to better know where the location of the forest fire occurred.
