#   IoT in Forest Fire Detection

When forest fires burn, they emit large volumes of carbon dioxide gas (CO2); you can use a network of IoT CO2 and temperature sensors for forest fire detection. IoT sensors can operate alongside satellite and optical detection systems or form a standalone network of sensors near key strategic assets.

Existing detection methods such as satellite and optical systems can cover large areas; satellite systems identify infrared signatures, while optical systems look for smoke plumes. Despite using these systems, CO2 and temperature IoT sensors can offer an inexpensive alternative to help detect forest fires.

# Remote IoT sensor networks

CO2 and temperature IoT sensors are battery and solar-powered, using a combination of LoRaWAN and satellite communications to provide coverage even in remote areas.

A LoRaWAN gateway can provide network coverage for up to 15KM outdoors, while satellite backhaul ensures traffic can be sent back to your monitoring system without requiring mobile or internet coverage.
