In order to deeply understand the spatio-temporal distribution patterns of forest fires and reduce the adverse effects of forest fires on the ecological environment and human activities, the key parameters and dynamics of multi-source satellite for fire point identification was established using data from 8 domestic and foreign meteorological satellites and based on the classic context method. The satellite monitoring buffer zone radius verification method was used to verify the authenticity of forest hot spots retrieved from multi-source satellites, and the real forest hot spot data during the fire prevention period in 2021—2022 were used to analyze the spatio-temporal characteristics of forest fires. The results show as follows. The accuracy of satellite fire spot monitoring is 84.42%, and the fire point classification accuracy is 89.90%. The established inversion method is reasonable and reliable. The spatial distribution of forest fires in Hunan is "more in the southwest and less in the northeast". At the same time the high-incidence areas are mainly distributed in southern Hunan, and the second-highest-incidence area is western Hunan. In summary, the risk of forest fires during the autumn prevention period is much greater than that during the spring prevention period. During the extreme high temperature and drought in 2022, forest fires were mainly distributed in the southern Hunan region and the Hengshao Basin. From the perspective of process distribution, the distribution of forest fires can be divided into four stages. The number of forest fires in the first three stages showed a significant increase trend, and in the third stage, the number of forest fires increased significantly. Fire risk is the most serious. In the fourth stage, due to the dual impact of precipitation and the province's fire ban, the risk of forest hot spots was significantly reduced.
