The open-source radio communication OCARI stack (\u2018Open Communication Protocol for Ad Hoc Reliable Industrial Instrumentation\u2019) allows to overcome the limitations of the previous wireless solutions for fire measurements, especially those based on proprietary systems, such as Zigbee, wherein users cannot control energy consumption and timestamping. This paper presents the design of an Atmel\/ARM-based platform compatible with the wireless OCARI stack, adapted to record and communicate data from heat transducers\u2014namely, a K-type thermocouple and heat fluxmeter. A 5-node WSN using heat sensors faces a 10 m     2     natural fire of excelsior (pine wood) in outdoor conditions. Measurements from the OCARI-WSN were compared with the same measurements simultaneously recorded on a datalogger, a standard wired solution in fire science. Thus, six fire experiments were performed for different fuel loads, and the incident heat radiation varies with the fire size under variable wind conditions. The technological breakdown of timestamping identified in previous low-energy consumption and low-cost wireless systems is overcome by the present solution.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19010158","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,4]],"date-time":"2019-01-04T11:34:26Z","timestamp":1546601666000},"page":"158","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["An OCARI-Based Wireless Sensor Network for Heat Measurements during Outdoor Fire Experiments"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8070-3237","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thierry","family":"Carlotti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire Sciences Pour l\u2019Environnement, CNRS UMR 6134-University of Corsica, Bat.CRIT 3ieme etage, Campus Grimaldi, 20 250 CORTE Northern Corsica, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0387-1667","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xavier","family":"Silvani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire Sciences Pour l\u2019Environnement, CNRS UMR 6134-University of Corsica, Bat.CRIT 3ieme etage, Campus Grimaldi, 20 250 CORTE Northern Corsica, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eric","family":"Innocenti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire Sciences Pour l\u2019Environnement, CNRS UMR 6134-University of Corsica, Bat.CRIT 3ieme etage, Campus Grimaldi, 20 250 CORTE Northern Corsica, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric","family":"Morandini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire Sciences Pour l\u2019Environnement, CNRS UMR 6134-University of Corsica, Bat.CRIT 3ieme etage, Campus Grimaldi, 20 250 CORTE Northern Corsica, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicolas","family":"Bult\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Insulaire P\u00e9troli\u00e8re Lieu-dit Bal\u00e9one, 20167 Sarolla-Carcopino Southern Corsica, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tuan","family":"Dang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electricite de France-R&amp;D, Department STEP, Control Systems and Information Technologies Group, 78401 Chatou CEDEX, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"229","DOI":"10.1016\/j.firesaf.2006.01.006","article-title":"Fire spread experiment across mediterranean shrub: Influence of wind on flame front properties","volume":"41","author":"Morandini","year":"2006","journal-title":"Fire Saf.
