Fire Management Simulator - Scientific Project

Academic project developed as part of the Computer Science & Network Communication Engineering program at CPE Lyon.

Overview

This project consists of a complete urban fire simulation and management system including:

• Fire Simulator: Creation, tracking, and propagation of geolocated fires on an interactive map
• Emergency Management: Deployment and coordination of fire trucks to extinguish fires
• IoT Infrastructure: Data collection via Micro:bit sensors and MQTT communication
• Network Infrastructure: Fire station and data center connectivity via GNS3
