FIRE BEATS is mainly a mobile application that predicts wildfires, locates accident fires and nearby fires to its users. Firstly, it predicts wildfires through (WSN) based Wildfire Hazard Prediction (WFHP) system and data from Global Fire WEather Database (GFWED). Secondly, it locates accident fires through crowdsourcing data as the user checks-in his location whenever he sees fire. The system gets his location through the GPS which sends it to a server that will send a signal to the nearest weather sensor (node) to detect this location to ensure the existence of fire. In parallel, the server will receive 1 minute-updated data from the GOES monitoring system to know the fire source and spread area which will be sent as data to the nearest fire station to get the shortest safest route for them to rescue people. The next step is sending safety check messages to the near users to the checked-in user through facebook to know through BIG DATA analysis the safest path to evacuate people through.Lastly, the third option is detecting near fire accidents to the user as to preview the checked-in approved fire reported users on a virtual map. In addition, we added an embedded system to our solution which is sending data to autopilot fire fighting drones to reach the fire source through temperature sensor and put off fire from its source (highest temp. point). Another drones will be sent to detect people in the fire and will send data to fire fighting robots with people's locations to be rescued.
