We designed an application called ‘WildFire Begone: A professional wildfire prevention system’, which notifies the users and authorities about different wildfires and potential fire hazards near them based on devices placed in different parks, forests, mountains, and other wild areas.

There will also be devices which are made up of cameras, temperature sensors, humidity sensors and soil humidity sensors placed on trees, fences, light poles, and other places in wild areas. Some of the devices will also be attached to animals and drones, which will be sent to survey the area routinely. The devices will detect tiny flames and sparks or potential fire hazards based on the data it received through its sensors and will notify different people and the authorities through the application. The device will also try to put out fire of a small scale on its own, which may otherwise grow into something bigger, using the mini-fire-extinguisher attached to it, which will spray water or foam according to the severity of the fire at the detected spark or flame to extinguish it.

If the fire is of a larger scale, authorities can be notified of the fire’s severity and its details through the application. Then, the authorities can decide to notify the users of the application to do different actions according to the situation. 

Related organisations nearby can also be notified of the situation and can decide to provide different aid to the civilians and to the firefighters in that area.

Real-time data of the fire will be provided to the public and to different organisations during the fire and after the fire has been extinguished. The data will include things like soil humidity of the area near the device(s), time and date of the fire, time taken to extinguish the fire, the location of the device which spotted the fire, images and video footage of the fire and temperature during the fire. Satellite images from NASA of the affected area will also be provided for estimation of the damage of the fire.
