Wildfire causes a significant threat to both human and animals. The latest California wildfire resulted in 100,000 evacuations and left millions without power. Unreported fire, almost always man made, is thought to be the cause of 90% of the wildfires. Therefore, we created a platform - incendium- to report, interact and get prompt attention to the on going wildfires. Incendium is a website we created using morbrise software which hosted on GitHub. Users can report incidence of wildfire using any method of their choice, such as text, photos and videos. Incendium locates the fire accessing NASA near real time MODIS(C6) and VIRS(375m) active fire data , embedded in the website. Incendium informs the fire location to the emergency responders via …...

*Limitations-*

One of the major constraints we faced was the limited amount of time allocated for the project development.

Also, we lacked the emergency responders database to include in the platform.

*Future directions*

It might be plausible to use machine learning to automatically match locations to reports and verify fires .We can make a form that has important information about the fire like how many people or animals are in the fire area. So the help will be supported with the required aid to them.

And It would be similar to how schools are...Our systems would be connected to 1st responders!! In public schools when a fire breaks out the fire department is automatically alerted

Our system no would alert the 1st responders to emergency and location.

Unreported fire can be catastrophic. INCENDIUM provides a platform to report fire incidence by any method , including text, photos and videos. INCENDIUM locates the fire accessing NASA open data sources and automatically inform the authorities for you.
