Detecting and Reporting Forest Fire through Deployment of Three Dimensional Multi-sink Wireless Sensor Network

Forest fires are common in the winter months across the world. An apt forest fire detection technique is required to check the spreading of fire and reduce the degree of loss thereby. In this paper we have proposed an energy efficient forest fire detection and reporting technique through three dimensional deployment of multi-sink wireless sensor network. The scheme may be used in event driven, time driven or a proposed hybrid mode. The results of the proposed scheme have been compared with 3 dimensional versions of some of the very well-known routing protocols for sensor networks.
