Forest Fire Detection with GPS using IoT

Abstract

Today's developing world makes environmental protection absolutely necessary. Numerous natural and man-made disasters were happening all around the planet. Forest fires are one such environmental catastrophe. Once it starts, the fire in the dense forest quickly engulfs the entire region, consuming everything in its path and igniting everything. On hot days, fire spreads more easily due to the dry conditions, decimating the grasses and trees in forested areas. To protect the ecosystems of the forest's flora and fauna, such forest fire calamities must be diminished. The objective of this endeavour is to create and put into use an Internet of Things (IoT)-based system that can anticipate and identify forest fires, alert the appropriate authorities to their specific location, and help firefighters put out the fire when it first starts. This would prevent the fire from engulfing a big area and allow for the implementation of preventative measures to put out any fires that might start in the near future.
