Some methods for fire detection include monitoring from watch towers and the use of satellite images [1] [2]. Unfortunately, these are not efficient due to several reasons, such as high infrastructure costs (sophisticated equipment), the fact that they require a large number of trained personnel and that they make real-time monitoring difficult, since when the phenomenon is detected, its speed of propagation has produced uncontrollable levels of damage. This paper proposes a method for detecting forest fires, using a network of wireless sensors and information fusion methods.
