Abstract: Forest fires in Yanyuan County, a typical dry-hot valley region, pose serious threats to ecological security and public safety. Conventional fire warning methods rely heavily on manual surveys, making them time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to missing the critical window for effective intervention. This paper presents a 3D visualization decision support system for fire prevention, developed on a Web-GIS platform using the Cesium engine. The system integrates multi-source data, including a 12.5 m DEM, remote sensing imagery, and real-time video streams. It employs a YOLO11 model for automated fire and smoke detection, achieving a precision of 82.4%. Compared to conventional 2D systems, the platform enhances emergency response speed by 37% while significantly improving spatial awareness and operational coordination. This cross-platform tool facilitates sustainable forest management through efficient resource allocation and real-time monitoring, offering a scalable and practical solution for fire prevention in complex terrains.
