Forest Fire Detection and Prevention System Using IoT

Abstract

AbstractIn India, over the past 10 years, forest fires are uncontrollable which causes damages to a forest ecosystem, natural ecosystem, and biodiversity. An increase in population and change in climate causes the decline of Indian forests. The main objective of the proposed system is to design low cost and effective detection and prevention system using GSM modules. This proposed system can easily detect forest fire at the initial stage. In the monitoring, the hardware which we use is GSM modem, MQ-2 sensor, and the Flame sensor for transferring the data and also some devices. We will also use an MQ-2 sensor which will sense the gases like methane, CO2, and smoke, etc., and a Flame sensor which will sense the forest fire and will send the data to the control unit. We will also use an LCD screen that will display the data then an alert will be sent to us. Instead of using a PC, we use an LCD screen due to its small size and portability which will make this system of low cost. And we used a rechargeable battery as a power supply in our project, and for providing charging to the battery, we used a solar panel. And, for the prevention method, we provide a water motor pump that is connected to a relay, where the relay will provide a set of input terminals for single or multiple control signals. This system provides us a remote, safe, accurate detection, and prevention from fire and smoke. So, this is the most effective system for monitoring forest fire that occurs in remote places with the help of the GSM module.KeywordsFire detectionAlertInternet of ThingsSensorMonitor
