Abstract

Every year, huge areas of forests are destroyed by fires, which have a particularly significant effect on forests and nature. To help combat fires, previous monitoring and detection methods rely heavily on human observation, which is not very effective due to the large areas of forest that need to be monitored. To increase efficiency, it is necessary to implement automatic fire detection systems that can quickly detect fires and enable rapid firefighting responses. Recent advances in sensor technology have made it possible to develop more accurate and automated forest fire detection systems. This research discusses a Wireless Sensor Network-based system that could be used for early fire detection. The proposed system has the capability to lower false alarms by 10% compared to the existing systems that solely rely on temperature and smoke sensors for detecting fires.
