Abstract

Protecting our environment is essential in today's developing world. One such environmental tragedy is forest fires. In recent years, the number of forest fires worldwide has increased. Natural or man-made disasters are to blame for this forest fire. One of the causes of natural forest fires is lightning. It happens as a result of dry fuels like leaves burning in the forest. Man-made fires are more like smoking because they result from several activities. In recent years, significant damage has been caused by forest fires. As many households and communities rely on the forest for food, fuel, and fodder, forest fires can have an adverse economic impact. Small shrubs and grasses are destroyed, causing landslides and soil erosion. Forest fires release toxic gas emissions and smoke that have a serious negative impact on human health. The goal of this effort is to create and implement an IOT-based system that can predict and detect forest fires and transmit alerts to responsible officials via mobile phone, enabling them to assist firefighters in putting out the fire in the area where it first ignites.
