An Improved Approach to Detect Forest Fires and to Predict the Spread Direction of Fire Using Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are used for forest fire detection. WSN comprises huge number of Sensor nodes which can be deploy in dense forest. Sensor Nodes are self configured and communicate with each other and forms network for sharing gathered information. Each node senses environmental changes, physical parameters with help of sensor and send this collected data to other neighboring nodes in the network. In this paper we have assembled three Sensor Nodes, one Master Node and other two are Slave Node. Each Node is having three sensors for measurement of temperature, humidity and smoke detector also for communication between Master and Slave Zigbee Transceivers module is used. With the help of Graphical User Interface in VB we get the data from different Nodes and this data is useful to detect the fire
