FireFlow: An IoT Node Network for Fire Risk Assessment and Prediction

Project Presentation: Presentation | Fireflow OSC 2022

Project Pitch: Youtube | Fireflow Pitch OSC 2022

FireFlow is an innovative cross-platform solution designed to assist firefighters in detecting and controlling forest fires. This IoT network evaluates and predicts fire risks across forests and mountains. The system encompasses a network of connected nodes strategically placed at critical coordinates, each equipped with a weather station and a set of sensors.

The solution also provides a platform that displays fire locations in real-time on an interactive thermal map.

The system also includes an AI model that predicts the direction and shape of fire spread, enhancing strategic planning and response effectiveness.
