Idea Overview#
The Forest Fire Alerting System is designed to detect forest fires using IoT-based
sensors that monitor temperature, humidity, and gas levels in real-time. The system
is integrated with GPS coordinates to provide precise location tracking of fire
hotspots. Data is collected and transmitted to a central monitoring system where it
is analyzed to trigger alerts. The alerts will notify the authorities or forest
management teams immediately, allowing for a faster response to prevent the fire
from spreading.

Problem Statement#
Forest fires are a serious threat to ecosystems, wildlife, and human settlements.
Traditional fire detection methods are often slow or inefficient, leading to
delayed responses and increased damage. There is a need for a reliable, real-time
fire detection system that can monitor large, remote forest areas and provide
instant notifications with precise location data to aid firefighting efforts.

Existing Solution
Manual Patrols: Forest rangers manually patrol forests, but this method is time-
consuming and may miss early signs of fires.
Satellite Imaging: While satellite imaging can detect large fires, it doesn't
provide real-time alerts and is expensive.
Thermal Cameras: These are used to monitor temperature anomalies, but they still
need constant monitoring and analysis, often relying on human intervention.
While these solutions offer some benefits, they lack automation, real-time alerts,
and precise location tracking, which can hinder swift action.

Proposed Solution
The Forest Fire Alerting System integrates multiple IoT sensors, including:
Temperature Sensors to detect temperature changes.
Gas Sensors to identify harmful gases (e.g., Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide)
produced during a fire.
Humidity Sensors to monitor dryness levels, which could contribute to the fire
risk.
GPS Module to determine the precise location of the detected fire.
These sensors are connected via a central microcontroller (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry
Pi), which transmits the collected data to a cloud server. Based on predefined
thresholds, the system triggers alerts (email, SMS, etc.) to fire authorities with
exact GPS coordinates and sensor data.

Methodology used
Data Collection:
Real-time environmental data is gathered using IoT sensors (temperature, humidity,
gas).
Data from the sensors is processed by the microcontroller (Arduino or Raspberry
Pi).
Data Transmission:
Data is transmitted to a cloud-based server via Wi-Fi or LoRa (Long Range)
communication, depending on the area of deployment.
Data Analysis:
The cloud-based system analyzes the data and compares it with preset thresholds for
temperature and gas concentrations.
If the values exceed the threshold, the system triggers an alert.
Alert Generation:
Alerts are sent via email, SMS, or push notifications to relevant authorities or
forest management teams, including the GPS coordinates of the fire.
Monitoring Dashboard:
A dashboard visualizes the sensor data and real-time location of detected fires,
enabling authorities to monitor the situation remotely.

Requirement
Hardware:
Temperature Sensor (e.g., DHT11, DHT22)
Gas Sensors (e.g., MQ-7 for CO, MQ-2 for smoke detection)
Humidity Sensor
GPS Module (e.g., NEO-6M GPS module)
Microcontroller (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi)
Power Supply (solar panels for outdoor applications)
Communication Module (Wi-Fi, LoRa, or GSM module for data transmission)
Software:
Microcontroller Programming (Arduino IDE, Python for Raspberry Pi)
Cloud platform for data storage (e.g., ThingSpeak, Firebase)
Notification system (using Twilio, Push notifications)
