Since most countries have an extensive forest resources, there are often, if not constantly, fires that erupt in these countries from these causes. The majority of vulnerable areas are found in warm climates. Since its highest elevation is a hundred and theta, this piece of infrastructure enables substantial vegetation, but since summers are hot and arid, the risks an overload. When global warming gets more intense, these types of disasters will become more frequent and worse. Much more land in the seasonal forest fires have been lost each year due to a destructive cutting practises, the old forestry, as well as assets, such as private residences and other structures. Additionally, it puts firefighters and the general public at risk, who on an equal scale suffer from a lot of death and illness each year. this sensor, microprocessor, and network technology] developed greatly expanded our] so we are now able to reliably detect the current spread of forest fires and begin to respond quickly to their progression. After natural timberland fires are set, which are frequent in remote regions where trees have not been selectively logged, they burn down into tinder, then new trees grow from seeds in their ashes, the older ones' fuel die and that spread. These pieces are particularly susceptible to being set on fire, which is an excellent location for matches and pyrotechnics. Although many a midsummer's day can cause a flame to erupt, the wick to expand, it can also be stoked by the normal process of human activities like smoking or using a heat source. Start running the process just as soon as the components are ready to go up in the flame. As the breeze expands the flame, the basic element of the vapour gets built up.

Abstract. In Turkey, there are forest areas that are sensitive to fire in the first degree, especially along the coastline in the Marmara region and the Aegean and Mediterranean regions. As a result of forest fires, which is one of the biggest environmental disasters on forest resources, approximately 10000 hectares of forest area is damaged annually. One of the important elements of combating forest fires is early detection. In order to achieve this goal, the correct positioning of fire lookout towers is of great importance. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate visibility capabilities of forest fire lookout tower in Gemlik Forestry Enterprise Chief (FEC) located in the city of Bursa. Firstly, the visibility analysis was implemented using in ArcGIS 10.4.1 to evaluate the existing fire tower in the FEC, and then considering the potential fire lookout tower in the study area, the visible areas from both existing and new tower were determined. According to the results, while 63.55% of the study area was visible from the existing tower, this ratio increased to 77.39% when the second tower was added. When only the forest areas are evaluated, the existing tower could see 71.73% of the forest areas, while the visible forest areas have increased to 83.36% when the two towers were taken into account. It has been seen that the visibility capacities of existing towers and potential towers can be evaluated effectively by using GIS-based visibility analysis.

Background: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been researched to be one of the ground-breaking technologies for the remote monitoring of pipeline infrastructure of the Oil and Gas industry. Research have also shown that the preferred deployment approach of the sensor network on pipeline structures follows a linear array of nodes, placed a distance apart from each other across the infrastructure length. The linear array topology of the sensor nodes gives rise to the name Linear Wireless Sensor Networks (LWSNs) which over the years have seen themselves being applied to pipelines for effective remote monitoring and surveillance. This paper aims to investigate the energy consumption issue associated with LWSNs deployed in cluster-based fashion along a pipeline infrastructure. Methods: Through quantitative analysis, the study attempts to approach the investigation conceptually focusing on mathematical analysis of proposed models to bring about conjectures on energy consumption performance. Results: From the derived analysis, results have shown that energy consumption is diminished to a minimum if there is a sink for every placed sensor node in the LWSN. To be precise, the analysis conceptually demonstrate that groups containing small number of nodes with a corresponding sink node is the approach to follow when pursuing a cluster-based LWSN for pipeline monitoring applications. Conclusion: From the results, it is discovered that energy consumption of a deployed LWSN can be decreased by creating groups out of the total deployed nodes with a sink servicing each group. In essence, the smaller number of nodes each group contains with a corresponding sink, the less energy consumed in total for the entire LWSN. This therefore means that a sink for every individual node will attribute to minimum energy consumption for every non-sink node. From the study, it can be concurred that energy consumption of a LWSN is inversely proportional to the number of sinks deployed and hence the number of groups created.
