Data / Event Collection Data / Event Processing Data / Event Analysis Figure 5-2 : Solution View – Logical ( Indicative ).
Wildfires can be predicted and prevented using available connectivity technologies , following are two approaches :
• UAV based Prediction : The first approach by which forest fires are detected is through imaging . This can be accomplished with fixed cameras , satellites , or drones and it allows authorities to get a bird ' s eye view of the fire , pinpoint its exact location , and get its contour .
• IoT Device Mesh : The second approach that is our review focus , involves the use of sensors that can detect environmental data such as heat , humidity , gases , and so on . These sensors , which can be placed strategically throughout the forest , will send an alert to authorities if they detect a fire .

5.3 ENVIRONMENTAL MEASUREMENTS

One of the best ways to detect a forest fire early is to use sensors . IoT Devices / Sensors are used to collect the following measurements .
