IRJET- Forest Fire Detection and Alerting System
0 likes247 views
This document describes a forest fire detection and alerting system that uses sensors and IoT technology. The system is intended to detect forest fires using sensors like a flame detector, gas sensor, sound detection sensor and temperature sensor connected to an Arduino board. When a fire is detected, the system will send alert messages using a GSM or WiFi module to nearby areas like hospitals and fire stations. The system has advantages like low power consumption and providing an effective safety system. It can automatically trigger alerts. However, it also risks false alarms being triggered when no fire is actually present. The overall goal of the system is to help detect forest fires early and solve the problem before it worsens through sending timely alerts.

As a human being its our duty to protect the animals , trees in the forest from any natural calamities. The main natural calamities or the one caused by human being was the forest fire. This IoT project overcomes or proposes the new method of detecting forest fire using some sensors and it intended to send messages to near by areas and to hospitals. The students will also be able to register for the events through this app. The students will also be notified about the events. Key Words: Forest fire, IoT. Fire Detection, Fire. 1. INTRODUCTION Forest fires play a natural and useful role in the life-cycle of a forest and its ecosystem. But fire can also have a devastating long-term effect on ecosystems that are not adapted to such patterns of burning. Frequent and large-scale fires, mainly caused by increased human activity, affect many forests and peat lands around the world. In a mature forest, a fire might burn only the forest floor, destroying ground and young trees, but leaving the larger trees undamaged. But in very dry conditions, where plant debris provide a lot of fuel on the ground, the flames are hot enough to reach the forest canopy and then rapidly spread over large areas. This application helps to solve the above problems. With the help of different sensors it is able to sense the fire occurrence, detect and solve before it become worse. 2. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION In this application with the help of Arduino and GSM module, the fire been detected and messages will be sent to nearby areas like hospitals, emergency contact persons, etc. In the existing system, Raspberry is used which is cost-efficient and it is one of the problem statement. In the proposed system, the WIFI module is encoded with certain coding. It sends messages to nearby fire stations, hospitals etc. Forest fire is the dominant disturbing factor in almost all forest vegetation zones causing environmental and biological consequences Massive destruction of forest is caused mostly by the forest fire Forest departments do not have an automatic system to detect fire and alert the fire service 3. RELATED TECHNOLOGY 3.1 Arduino UNO ARDUINO UNO is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P. It has 14 digital input/output pins(of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16MHz quartz crystal, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header and a reset button. It simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.

The power source is selected automatically. External (non-USB) power can come either from an AC-to-DC adapter (wall-wart) or battery. The adapter can be connected by plugging a 2.1mm center-positive plug into the board jack. 3.3 Flame Detector Flame detector is a sensor designed to detect and respond to the presence of a flame or fire, allowing flame detection. When used in applications such as industrial furnaces, their role is to provide confirmation that the furnace is properly lit. 3.4 Gas Sensor This is a simple-to-use liquefied petroleum gas sensor, suitable for sensing LPG (composed of mostly propane and butane) concentrations in the air. This sensor has a high sensitivity and fast response time. 3.5 LCD Display LCD’s have made displays thinner than CRT’s. Even while comparing the LCD screen to an LED screen, the power consumption is lesser as it works on the basic principle of blocking light rather than dissipating. 3.6 SOUND DETECTION SENSOR The sound sensor module provides an easy way to detect sound and is generally used for detecting sound intensity. This module can be used for security, switch, and monitoring applications. 3.7 GSM A GSM Module is basically a GSM Modem (like SIM 900) connected to a PCB with different types of output taken. 3.8 WIFI Module The ESP8266 is capable of either hosting an application or offloading all Wi-Fi networking functions from another application processor. This module has a powerful enough on-board processing and storage capability that allows it to be integrated with the sensors and other application specific devices. 4.
