A novel approach is proposed in this paper for automatic forest fire detection from video. Based on 3D point cloud of the collected sample fire pixels, Gaussian mixture model is built and helps segment some possible flame regions in single image. Then the new specific flame pattern is defined for forest, and three types of fire colors are labeled accordingly. With 11 static features including c...

BACKGROUND Fires are a leading cause of death, but non-fatal injuries from residential fires have not been well characterised. METHODS To identify residential fire injuries that resulted in an emergency department visit, hospitalisation, or death, computerised databases from emergency departments, hospitals, ambulance and helicopter services, the fire department, and the health department, an...

One of the major sources of emission of green house gases (GHGs) is biomass burning. Thus the space-based observations of global distribution of fire form a key component of climate change studies. Several international programs have been established towards the goal of gaining complete information on fire activity around the world using space based observations. This study mainly highlights th...

A previously healthy 26 year old woman who was exposed to smoke during a house fire developed acute anterior myocardial infarction complicated by ventricular fibrillation. Subsequent left ventriculography confirmed anterior infarction, but coronary arteriography was normal apart from myocardial bridging over a segment of the left anterior descending artery. The development of acute myocardial i...

We present the case of a 70 year-old man with carbon monoxide poisoning following a house fire. A significant smoking history and likely underlying chronic lung pathology complicated treatment, as due to symptomatic retention of carbon dioxide we were unable to use high-flow oxygen to facilitate the elimination of carbon monoxide. We suggest that patients with risk factors for obstructive lung ...

A 28-year-old man who sustained inhalational injury in a house fire developed symptoms of chronic cough and hemoptysis requiring bronchoscopy. Two months after the initial injury, numerous endobronchial polyps were found in the trachea and throughout the bronchial tree. His symptoms have subsequently improved over a six-month period while receiving steroid therapy. To our knowledge, this delaye...

In general, every house or shop has the possibility of experiencing a fire, which is caused by many factors. We need fire detection tool that will notify building owner so it can be handled early and effectively. this research, an Internet Things Based Fire Detector Design made using NodeMCU Microcontroller to detect smoke determine occurrence IR Flame Sensor[1] MQ-2 Sensor[2], [4], where input...
