The existing multi-source heterogeneous fire detection faced with issues of high privacy leak risk for data, low small-flame detection accuracy, and high communication overhead, so this paper proposed a federated fire detection model based on integrating YOLO11n-P2 detection model and Fire-Yolopa detection with partial aggregation. This framework is also the first to use YOLO11 series and federated learning together for fire detection tasks. Using the federated learning will allow for each client to participate in cooperation and share their knowledge with each other without having to share their real data, solving the issue of closed data silo in fire detection. Through experimental results, it can be seen that the optimal client model has an mAP50 value of 80.2%,only different from the centralized baseline model by 2.68%, and the small flame recall rate improves from 50.00% to 54.64% This result shows the improvements for Small flame detection in the terms of accuracy as well as the overall detected. This work will give a reusable technical framework which can help the community to collaboratively improve on small objects and privacy as well as deployment edge.
