To ensure remote sensing MODIS hotspot (also known as active fire products or hotspots) quality and precision in forest fire control and management in Thailand, an increased level of confidence is needed. Accuracy assessment of MODIS hotspots utilizing field survey data validation is described. A quantitative evaluation of MODIS hotspot products has been carried out since the 2007 forest fire s...

Decisionmaking in wildland firefighting is an evolving, dynamic reflection of a complex array of social and environmental factors that managers are expected to handle with fewer resources than in past eras. The need for new and effective ways of developing the capabilities to handle these factors is paramount. Seven focus group interviews with wildland fire managers (N 39) throughout the wester...

This project is aimed to prevent vehicles from fire explosions. In this we used sensor, pipe valve, Fire extinguisher and Arduino. The sensor valve are placed in near the areas where there a possible catch on fire. connected Arduino also extinguisher. powered by separate battery. working of like whenever detected it transmits signal transmit which that While doing process, unlock central lock s...

A subway station is a confined space, so it very important to evacuate people safely in case of fire. It necessary study and analyze the smoke distribution evacuation ability different layout schemes when fire occurs. Taking as an example, this paper combines BIM (Building Information Model) technology with safety station. First, we optimize public area use establish model. Then, PyroSim softwa...

Forest fires and burnt area in Portugal have been increasing in the last decades, contrarily to other southern European countries, although more resources are being allocated to prevention, detection and fire fighting. To minimize the probability of wildfires occurrence, it is crucial to assure the effectiveness of the prevention, vigilance and first attack operations. When fire prevention fail...

Wild fires have a catastrophic impact on the environment and lead to people’s deaths. Such are relevant in global context. Many countries declare some of their territories an ecological disaster zone during natural ecosystems (USA, Portugal, Greece, Spain, Italy, Australia). Fires occurred southern Ukraine 2007 eastern part 2021, which destroyed large tracts pine, as well homes, buildings cause...

Wildfires have a profound impact upon the biosphere and our society in general. They cause loss of life, lead to the destruction of personal property and natural resources, and alter the chemistry of the atmosphere. In response to the concern over the consequences of wildland fire and to support the fire management community, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National ...

The aim of the study is to analyze children’s learning experiences related fire safety as portrayed in their drawings. Following a field trip station, children were asked exhibit on paper; including important and interesting obtained during visit. Research participants kindergarten aged five six years old. When data from analyzed, this found out that mostly included pictures truck, firemen exti...
