Raspberry pi based smart fire management system employing sensor based automatic water sprinkler

Abstract

The smart fire management requires significant surveillance systems to detect and control the fire and fire causing agents automatically. This requirement has been accomplished in this proposed system by employing fire detection system and fire controlling system using Raspberry pi. The fire detection system entails flame detectors along with temperature sensors which reduces the false fire detection rate. The system also notifies the user by emailing the video of fire affected area and gives the updates of room temperature from time to time. A gas leakage sensor has been employed to detect various types of gases like ethane, methane, LPG etc. The proposed fire controlling system performs various functions on detection of fire or gas, which includes switching off the main power supply, switching on the exhaust fan and finally dousing the fire. The water sprinklers have been employed which will be activated on the detection of fire by the employed fire sensors in the system. If temperature rises above the set threshold temperature, then the proposed system will also drop the mail to fire brigade along with the video and notify the user to inform the fire brigade manually. This proposed system can be installed in a hall of maximum area 126ft x 21ft employing one Raspberry pi module.
