Abstract
Forest and land fires are a recurrent issue in several Indonesian regions, necessitating advanced technological solutions for early detection and monitoring due to their significant impact. This research project focuses on developing a prototype system utilizing IoT-based Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology to detect forest and land fires. The prototype offers real-time remote monitoring of temperature, humidity, smoke levels, and wind speed in the forest through an Android app or web interface. To validate its performance, the prototype was compared to existing BMKG tools, with results showing minor temperature errors (2.41%) and a humidity error of 17.68%. The anemometer sensor exhibited a slight 4-second data transmission delay. Importantly, the prototype excelled in fire detection, effectively identifying temperature and humidity changes within a 2-meter radius or more indicative of fire outbreaks. This pioneering prototype promises to significantly enhance early warning and response mechanisms for forest and land fires in Indonesia, contributing to more effective environmental conservation and disaster management.
