The objective of this article is to identify current trends and prospects for the use of technical facilities and installations to prevent the spread of wildfires by analyzing the literature. The analysis of the literature has allowed an analysis of different ground-based wildfire detection and monitoring systems: optical sensors and digital camera systems, and wireless sensor network systems. The author concludes that the wireless sensor network can be seen as a partial solution when used in combination with other technologies. Keywords—observation towers, optical systems, optical sensors, digital cameras, wireless sensor network.

Forest Conditions

Forest fires are the most common threat in the woods. A combination of natural and human-made factors contributes to forest fires. Forest fires destroy trees, which are essential to produce oxygen, which we need to live. This new Zigbee-based wireless sensor network is being developed to overcome the limitations of existing technologies like the MODIS satellite-based detection system and a basic wireless sensor network. It's difficult to contain a forest fire that wasn't predicted or noticed in time. As a result, it's critical to catch a wildfire early enough before it spreads too far. Using a GSM device, the proposed method would gather data on forest conditions such as temperature, humidity, smoke, and flames, and deliver it to the appropriate authorities. There are three parts to the project's concept. Modules for sensors, gateways, and control centres make up the three sections. This project's main objective is to benefit others.
