Wireless sensor networks promise great success in many areas from environmental monitoring to medical and military applications. Forest fire detection is one of these areas where many of the ongoing WSN research is focused today. Unfortunately, most of these studies choose simulating their proposed solutions instead of doing experiments in real testbed environments, since that kind of setup exposes additional difficulties. Our previous work, named FireSense, proposed a fire detection algorithm, which was shown to be successful in terms of simulation results. In this study, we take FireSense to a real outdoor testbed for further analysis of its effectiveness in terms of various parameters such as link and node failures, topology and physical configuration changes, wind direction, ignition point position and sampling period variations.
