contents Wildfire monitoring demands timely data collection and processing for early detection and rapid response. UAV-assisted edge computing is a promising approach, but jointly minimizing end-to-end service response time while satisfying energy, revisit time, and capacity constraints remains challenging. We propose an integrated framework that co-optimizes UAV route planning, fleet sizing, and edge service provisioning for wildfire monitoring. The framework combines fire-history-weighted clustering to prioritize high-risk areas, Quality of Service (QoS)-aware edge assignment balancing proximity and computational load, 2-opt route optimization with adaptive fleet sizing, and a dynamic emergency rerouting mechanism. The key insight is that these subproblems are interdependent: clustering decisions simultaneously shape patrol efficiency and edge workloads, while capacity constraints feed back into feasible configurations. Experiments show that the proposed framework reduces average response time by 70.6--84.2%, energy consumption by 73.8--88.4%, and fleet size by 26.7--42.1% compared to GA, PSO, and greedy baselines. The emergency mechanism responds within 233 seconds, well under the 300-second deadline, with negligible impact on normal operations.
