Özet

In recent years, as a result of climate changes and droughts, there has been an increase in the surface area of

forest fire climates and burning ranges all over the world. In the summer period, one of the largest wholesalers

in our history was witnessed. While an average of 20,760 hectares of land burned every year in Türkiye

between 2008 and 2020, 755% of this amount burned in the first 8 of 2021. The forest area that was reduced to

ash between January and August in 2021 reached 177,476 hectares. This is approximately the size of 250,000

football fields. Early detection of fires in forest and agricultural areas is very important for early intervention.

The longer the intervention is delayed, the more uncontrollable the fire grows. A regional fire that can initially

be extinguished with a few extinguishing land vehicles (if the climatic conditions are suitable) can be

extinguished with difficulty even with extinguishing aircraft within one or two hours. There is a possibility that

a fire that gets out of control can spread to residential areas. In this case, as we have witnessed in recent months,

significant property and life losses can occur. First of all, in the system that can be applied to areas where the

fire risk is high and fire detection is visually difficult, and also in the event of late intervention in the fire, which

has the potential to pose great risks, cost-effective sensor + RF communication modules that are distributed in

an optimum order in a certain area, waiting in the dormant position and becoming active with the detection of

the ignition temperature, will be used to autonomously give a warning signal to the nearest communication

module in the area, with minimum installation and service. This RF method will be explained in the study and

its effectiveness will be shown with the results.
