Detecting Forest Fires using Wireless Sensor Networks with Waspmote

The first real deployment of a Wireless Sensor Network in order to detect forest fires has been performed in Asturias (North of Spain). The system uses Waspmote along with CO, CO2, humidity and temperature sensors included in the Gas Sensor board. 40 nodes were deployed in 2009 and 50 more will be installed in 2010. The article includes a video of the installation recorded by the local TV.
