Development of forest fire early warning system based on the wireless sensor network in Lawu Mountain.

Abstract

Early detection of forest fires is important to reducing the problem of forest land abatement by 2% each year. The use of sensors for monitoring is still very low so that it is very necessary to reduce the existence of forest fires. The method is done by measuring the temperature and gas content (CO, CO2) which is then divided into four levels, which are Normal, Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3, based on sensor readings value. Using temperature sensor and gas sensors which are both integrated with microcontroller and GSM module to send a massage GSM alert than can be viewed by users with the level of conditions read by the device. This tool will be placed around the hiking trail of Lawu Mountain.
