Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are often designed to detect events based on measurements provided by sensor nodes. In this work, we propose and evaluate two algorithms, based on information fusion methods, for fire detection in rainforests when we have only light and temperature sensors. The idea is to have acceptable detection methods even when we do not have (or cannot afford) other sensor units...
