Early Detection of Forest Fire Using Internet of Things

Forest is a complex ecological system that plays a very vital role from environmental point of view due to its flora and fauna. Covering one-third of the earth's land area, it performs various tasks across the globe. Forest ecosystems provide shelter for animals and birds, are responsible for climate stabilization, and provide food, water, wood, and herbal medicines etc. . Despite, all these benefits, forest fire has been a growing concern over the years. According to the recent wildfire statistics, there have been a total of 1065 large wildfires happened. The main 3 elements that playa major role in combustion are heat, oxygen, and fuel that is already present in abundant in the forest These three elements together are known as the fire triangle. When the temperature rises in the forest and there is less humidity and a windy breeze, there are maximum chances of fire taking place due to the tree barks and dry leaves which are the most combustible substances. By any chance, if the forest fire can be detected at its earlier stage, then it is possible for the forest officials to come up with a solution for its prevention and stopping any kind of massive destruction that may happen to the flora and fauna of the forest The forestry monitoring system designed by us mainly focuses not only on the day-to-day changes taking place in the forest, but also alerts the forest officials before the wildfire starts.
