Attack those fires| Spot That Fire V3.0

Spot That Fire V3.0

Recent wildfires worldwide have demonstrated the importance of rapid wildfire detection, mitigation, and community impact assessment analysis. Your challenge is to develop and/or augment an existing application to detect, predict, and assess the economic impacts from actual or potential wildfires by leveraging high-frequency data from a new generation of geostationary satellites, data from polar-orbiting environmental satellites, and other open-source datasets.

Using IOT System for controlling the fire

Summary

The problem is talking about forest fire and how it affects on the environment. Any problem has a solution. Our solution is to put HANDS fire sensor in forest. When the fire begins to ignite, Sensors will detect gases which emits from the fire such as: (CO2, CH4) and will send signals to NodeMCU and will relocate it to RPI 3B. RPI medium will receive MQTT protocol and send it to *red node* platform of serves cloud then, GMS will receive signals and send it to the fire station attached to the site. So, This sweet leads to reduce the negative weather and environmental impacts of forest fires and will enable us to benefit more from forest leaves and wood

How We Addressed This Challenge

Our project is targeting to be able to put off the fires early so that it won’t extract huge amounts.

Benefits for our community,it can save time for us and facilitate our missions .it makes us able to control the situations faster and also achieve

safety for us.


The problems that I am about to address are the problems of wildfire

 for human.

 Most firesall over the world are concentrated in areas that have woods near of them

(forests) in Australia, tropical areas and also in the isolated places in the countries where most fires occur. 

What will happen if this problem is not solved?

If we don’t solve this problem, the result will be:

• Increasing the amounts of extracted smokes from the fires of different sources.

• Affecting the climate, increase global warming, and affecting the ozone layer.

(Due to the large increase in the amounts of extracted CO2)

• Increasing air pollution among the world leading to an increase in asphyxia for

many people especially small children and old people. Therefore, affecting

human health.

• Affecting the plants reproduction and photosynthesis process and affecting

animals


: Fires of woods(forests) which is considered one of

the biggest disasters for the Earth…

An uncontrolled forest fire can devastate everything in its path, spread for miles,

crossing rivers and roads. Each year, between 60,000 and 80,000 forest fires

occur, destroying between 3 and 10 million hectares

-What will happen if this problem is solved?

If we solve this problem, the result will be:

1) Saving the lives of many creatures.

2) Improve a better healthy life for humans and plants by reducing pollution rates

and CO2 gas therefore obtaining a healthier fresh air to breathe.

3) The damages that are happening for facilities as a result of fires in

infrastructure will be reduced. (so that, saving money that are lost as a result of

damages)

4) Achieving more safe life.

5) Decreasing global warming.

6) Reducing fires of woods so that keeping our environment and the homes of

animals.

To solve this problem, we try to improved a safety system to decrease the wildfires all

over the world leading to decreasing the harmful consequences of it.

How We Developed This Project

The project aims to reducing the fires of forests, reducing fires of facilities and the damages that happen by fires, so we focus to be more accurate to have a less loses. 

When we used sensor which detect heat, we found some error and false fire alarm like the heat from lampposts so, we preferred to use fire sensor instead of heat sensor. For more range we usex fire sensor and gas sensor also to detect gases that produce from fires 

We made this project to do without extremal action from human also by quick situation to have time to control fire. When fire start, sensors start to give signals to "NodeMCU" then, transfer to the RPI 3B+ through MQTT protocol which will be recieved on the RPi's broker and send it into the cloud server "node red" platform and then the  GSM Module will recieve the signals and sending call to the fire station attached with the location, by doing this the fire is saved quickly.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

Now we are a group of a participants at NASA space Apps competition so, obviously that we had taken many information that we had searched about from the Materials & resources that given to us by the space agency, as we had got the benefit of the resources as much as we could such as: Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) and we had found some Important details about the fire and its dates the most harmful fires that had affected the forests which made us have more information about the huge that we try to solve , also from the fire map we had determined the most places that the fires happen at it, to gain more knowledge about the location that our project can applicable at, and from the previous versions of the challenge we also after reading them we had found some misconceptions that we may fall in , and may represents a crush for us , so it clarified our vision for the challenge and that’s is.
