IOT Based Forest Fire Detection System Using Arduino Nano

Abstract Forest fires are common hazards in forests in summer when the vegetation is dry and flammable that affect the local Wildlife as well as the Environment and in general the entire eco system around it. However, the damage impact could be reduced if a robust system could be deployed in forest areas to detect the fire and alert to Fire extinguishing authority to take immediate action in case of a fire. In this project, the intention is to build a Forest fire detection system using IoT (specifically from thingspeak.com) which would detect the fire and send an emergency alert to Authority through IoT through real time data collection. Here a GSM/GPRS module is used to communicate with IoT sever. Since forests are generally remote areas and protected by the government, the availability of network signals is close to non-existent with only basic 2G connectivity at most. Hence a 2G network is preferable to communicate with the server and would also help in reducing costs for poten...
