Internet of Things-Based Fire Alarm Navigation System: A Fire-Rescue Department Perspective

Abstract

In the past few years, fire alarm systems have become increasingly sophisticated and more capable and reliable. The two main objectives are the protection of life and property. As a result of state and local codes, fire protection has become more concerned with life safety over the past two decades. Several safety measures have been implemented to address the problems caused by the fires and reduce the number of fatalities and property damage. Our project is to develop and review a fire alarm navigation system and application that uses the internet of things. Fire alarm systems are designed to warn people about fires in advance so that they can evacuate the fire-affected area and take immediate action to control the fire. There will be a GPS module, a flame sensor, a smoke sensor, buzzers, LEDs, and a GSM module to ensure early notification to authorities and fire stations. The aim is to reduce the loss of lives and property. A questionnaire was designed to conduct a brief survey in a multinational sports production company in Sialkot, Pakistan, regarding the IoT fire alarm navigation system. Besides installing the system in the factory, we compare the results with fire incident response time with and without this system at rescue 1122 fire head station.
