Abstract

Forest is one of the essential pillars of the ecosystem. Moreover, it provides all the essentials required for our very own existence. However, forest fires have been a significant area of concern over the years. For this purpose, various devices have been used over the years. Internet of Things (IoT) has been a significant advancement in early detection and mitigation. IoT, along with various software, enables error-free data in real time. This paper has highlighted three significant advancements using IoT, enabling the early detection of a forest fire. Firstly, Convolution Neural Network (CNN) is used for forest fire detection. Another method utilises a series of sensor network paradigms to get real-time data for forest fires. The final method utilises an EP32 board along with sound, rain, DHT11, and PIR sensors for its swift and systematic reporting of forest fires.
