Abstract
Natural disasters and human-made disasters around the world occur everywhere. Among them, the disasters which can be caused by forest fires cause a lot of damage to humans. Forest fires can be caused by natural causes or by human activities. Forest fires can be caused by huge damage to human habitats and forest ecosystems. Forest fires affect the global climate changes and greenhouse effects. Therefore, real-time fire detection and warning systems are needed to prevent wildfire natural disasters. This proposes system can be used to detect forest fires at the initial stage using a wireless sensor network. In this paper, using Arduino (ATmega 2560), it is a system that can monitor forest fire from sensors. This system is composed of sensors, ESP 8266, Gateway and Arduino. This proposed system implements the effective detection and warning system for based on wireless sensor networks (WSN). The aim of this proposed system is to achieve forest fire disaster prevention and warning benefits using IoT technology.
