Examination of the forest fires detection: the relationship between the fire and the detection

Abstract

Introduction: Forest fires are one of the most typical natural disasters in the world. As a result of the global climate change a continuous average temperature increase can be determined. Consequently, the risks of the forest and the vegetation fires are increasing. Because of the global climate change, the dry and rainless periods of the weather conditions can be extended. It gives bigger opportunity to ignite the biomass. For the effective firefighting it is necessary to make a quick detection. The detection of the forest and vegetation fires is carrying out mostly on a passive way, mainly based on public announcement. If there is no announcement of a fire, it does not mean a fire for the fire departments. So that is why the authors make an examination of the forest fire detection, focusing on the relationship between the fire and the detection. Methods: When writing the paper, it was important to analyze and study the relevant literatures of the topic, and the related data collection. In addition, it is important to mention the personal consultations with various experts, the logical conclusions and the personal experiences of the authors on the subject. The authors expressed the effectiveness of the observation with an simple mathematical formula. Results: The authors set out to examine the detection of the forest and vegetation fires as a factor influencing on the effective firefighting. The paper shows the relationship between the observer and the fire. The authors were analyzing the operation methods of the human eyes. Including the importance of the angle of view, the whole field of view of the human eyes. In the paper appear the obstructive factors of the detection, such as the distance and the terrain. As a result of the paper, the authors determined a formula, which shows the efficiency of the observation and its most important circumstances.
