Forest Fire Detection System
The Forest Fire Detection System (or Wildfire) was developed as the senior design project for my
Computer Engineering degree at the University of North Texas by the Quad Core Crew: Matthew
Wilson (Team Lead), Edwin Hernandez (Software Lead), Luis Guevara (Hardware Lead), and Lluviana
Vasquez (Documentation Lead). This solar-powered, sensor-based early warning system uses
ionization and photoelectric smoke detectors, heat sensors, and telemetry to detect and report
fires in real time. Mounted on elevated surfaces, each station monitors for smoke and heat,
sending alerts via satellite or wireless networks to Command and Control centers. Built to respond
quickly and prevent large-scale wildfires, the system uses triangulated sensor stations to pinpoint
a fire’s location, direction, and speed.
