IOT Platform For Wildfire Detection

Abstract: As we all know, the forest is considered as one of the most important and essential resources and Forest fires represent a constant warning to ecological systems, infrastructure and environmental features of a community, forest fire detection is an extremely important issue in the pre-suppression process. Unfortunately, the forest fire is commonly observed when it spread over a large area, making its under our control and stoppage arduous, and often even nearly impossible. The issues with forest fires is that the forests are usually remote, abandoned or unmanaged areas full with trees, dry and parching wood, leaves etc, that act as a fuel source and which basically causes wide amount of disaster to nature. So, our idea behind this problem is to get the early detection of fire in the forest before it spreads to the entire forest. This paper highlights the powerful features as a potential solution to the challenge of early detection of forest fires. The device presented makes use of various sensors attached and wireless data transmission, to fulfil the task.
