THE DEVELOPMENT OF FIRE DETECTION AND AUTOMATED FIRE EXTINGUISHER SYSTEM BY USING ARDUINO AND NODEMCU ESP 8266

Abstract

Human interruption has declined with the advancement in the field of mechanical science, and automated system are used for diverse works and for the protection of beings. Nowadays, fire mischances often keep occurrences especially at petrol stationthat can cause danger to human life and properties, also create difficulties to save lives for fire fighters from a catastrophe event. An automated fire extinguisher system is used in such situations to minimize the casualties from being damage and destroy. Inorder to locate and extinguish the flames, an automated fire extinguisher system should be able to detect the location of the fire when it begins and stop it before it starts to spread. Numerous scholars have expressed their interest in the implementation and development of the methodology applied in this project during the last decade. However, until now the implemented strategieshave been less used, although most of them have demonstrated and understand the importance and benefit of this system. This project intended to design and create a prototype that has the function of detecting a fire and extinguish fire in the specific area. The project framework is developed using Arduino IDE software to distinguish obstacles and fires by using the three main sensors which is ultrasonic sensor, infrared flame sensor, radiofrequency sensor and MQ7 sensor by detecting the heat/flame,carbon monoxide gas, mobile phone frequency and vehicle entering the pump station. In addition, as a safety precautions andregulations, the ultrasonic sensor is used such when a vehicle enter the yellow box of the petrol pump station, the system will begin to run and operate. Finally, the automated fire extinguisher system will also alert the motorists by following the standard operation procedure at petrol station before they begin to refuel their vehicle. Once they have followed the standard operation procedure,only then they can proceed to refuel their vehicle with the safety measurement taken.
