Sensor Based Smart Fire Detection and Fire Alarm System

Abstract

The use of different IoT devices for home automation has become very popular in recent years. Fire detection and avoidance of fire accidents is one of the necessary and important application of home automation using IoT. Traditional fire alarm system requires huge installation cost and labour. The proposed IOT based fire alarm system basically detects fire at an early stage, generates an automatic alarm and notify the remote user or fire control station about the fire outbreak. This also tries to +extinguish the fire. The use of Arduino is proposed to sense the surroundings for occurrence of fire with the help of fire and gas sensor. The development of home fire alert system is built based on Arduino board. The fire is detected at an early stage and the system generates an alarm and sends SMS or call alerts to mobile numbers stored inside the Arduino program, via the GSM module. Simultaneously, a water sprayer producing device is switched on for the control of fire. This prototype system can help users to improve their safety standards with immediate response by preventing accidents. This will eventually allow both the lives and the properties from the disaster. The functions of each module and its implementation is described in detail.
