[Problem] To provide a fire detection system and a fire detection method that enable prompt fire-extinguishing activity, by detecting fires in an extensive area such as a forest, and by predicting the fire progression. [Solution] A system for monitoring forest fires by means of multiple infrared cameras and multiple visible light cameras, equipped with: an operation device for operating any one of the multiple infrared cameras or the multiple visible light cameras; and a control device having preset information table, in which position-related information indicating the mutual positional relationships of the multiple infrared cameras and the multiple visible light cameras, as well as preset rotational amount information indicating for each camera the direction in which the camera is rotated and the amount of rotation, are registered. When a fire is detected, the control device controls a visible light camera and rotates the camera, on the basis of the position-related information and the preset rotational amount information in the preset information table, toward the position where the fire has been detected, and the control device predicts the direction in which the fire will spread on the basis of environment information, and displays on the operation device the predicted spreading direction. |
