Fires that occur naturally in the forest can cause uncontrolled fires due to the rapid spread of heat. This research is focused on the observation land in the Puncak Besar area of Pacet in Pengalengan District, Indonesia, where the area of land burned is approximately 100 hectares. The early warning system that was built in this study uses a range widening method. This method consists of 1 sector that functions to detect heat and initial gas that occurs in the remote area. The initial area of the hotspot is usually not detected by the forest operator. After testing the sensor performance on this device, the fire sensor can detect hotspots with an average range of 440 cm. The width of the detection angle using a shield can reach a range of - 45° to 45° and the wide angle of detection of a fire without a shield can reach a range of -90° to 90°. While the communication system on this device uses the GPRS/GSM module to send data to the Android application as a monitoring system. By using this early forest fire detection system, forest operators can monitor the starting point of a fire in remote areas around the forest and minimize the spread of fire points as one solution to overcome the wider spread of forest fires.
