The main focus of this research is early detection system for forest fires by using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Data source of fires are collected by mobile devices such as GPS-equipped UAV quadcopter, non-contact infrared sensor, and the sensor stabilizer. The data from sensor is sent via telemetry link 433 Mhz, towards the Ground Control Station. Then the data is processed by a program that has been made, namely SPTA Real-time v0.1.0, which can show the temperature data as well as the color layer based on the difference of temperature levels in real-time on a digital map layer. The coordinates of fires are observed by SPTA realtime v0.1.0, and then it is compared with the coordinates of the source of the fire that is recorded manually. The results of data retrieval, the area that monitored is 3662 m2, constant height of 30 m, quadcopter speed of 5 m / s. First Data, with wind speeds of 3.2 m / s has a difference of 1.18 m from the coordinate source of the fire, within GPS tolerance accuracy is 2.5 m. For the second data with a wind speed of 6 m / s, has a difference of 5.16 m from the coordinates of the source of fire, deviated from the tolerance is 2.66 meter GPS accuracy.
