People get injured or can die Property damage occurs Animals
suffer Forests get burned Advanced warning system needed ! Problem
Unexpected wild fires

Determines sounds of the fire (like the crackling and crashing
of trees). Sensor is a small microphone that uses pattern
recognition to filter out unrelated sounds. Smells the air and
compares air vs. smog. Sensor is a enose technology with small
vacuum pump, developed by Honeywell & fits in a smart phone.

Slide 9
- Wildfire spreads in the direction of wind and detects the
wind speed - Sensor is small anemometer made by SPER-Scientific -
Figures out air density which depends on the temperature and
pressure -This type of sensor has been used for a long time in cars
to measure air flow - Sensor can be integrated with
anemometer.
Slide 10
- Identifies temperature and predicts the likelihood of a fire
- Sensor is mini thermometer made by Honeywell - Senses color of
air - Smoke vs air - Compares to expected air color quality -
Sensor is basically a camera
Slide 11
- Senses carbon based gases in the air - Similar to Carbon
monoxide sensors at home. - Made by Honeywell - Identifies amount
of moisture in air - Compares to expected humidity level -
Hygrometer by Honeywell Humidity and Temperature Sensor - DHT22
Carbon Monoxide Sensor (MQ7)
