Due to their long, winding passages and poor visibility, subway systems are highly susceptible to rapid smoke spread during fires, risking substantial casualties. This paper examines the causes of fire risks in subways, compiling a comprehensive list of risk factors and using fault tree analysis (FTA) to underscore the importance of fire monitoring systems in the causal chains of subway construction fires. To improve the speed, accuracy, and responsiveness of fire detection in subway construction, this study introduces a novel fire monitoring system incorporating wireless sensor networks, edge computing, multi-source data fusion, and deep neural networks. The system employs a multi-wireless sensor network (M-WSN) for transmitting monitoring data, using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) for time series prediction of sensor data, followed by deep belief network (DBN) for fusing multi-source data to identify fire risks. It also includes a gas diffusion model and a weighted windy-centroid localization algorithm (W-CLA) to develop a fire source localization algorithm suitable for windy conditions. Furthermore, an improved framework is established for assessing fire risks in subway construction. Practical applications demonstrate that this system not only extends the range of data collection, achieves 100% accuracy in fire risk identification, and maintains a key fire risk indicator prediction error (RMSE) of 3.34 with fire source localization errors under 0.4 m, but also effectively enhances the system's capability for rapid detection, accurate risk identification, and precise source localization.
