Introduction of IOT Based Fire Department Alerting System Project
In markets, stores, malls, residential buildings, parking areas, etc., fire alarms play a very
important role. At an early stage, they help to detect fire or smoke which can help to save lives.
Commercial fire warning devices, with the aid of a buzzer or siren, typically provide an alarm
signal. Using temperature and a smoke sensor, we developed an IOT-based Fire Warning
System that would not only signal the presence of fire in a specific premise, but also submit
relevant information..
The Internet of Things (IoT) is essentially a network of 'things' through which with the help of
sensors, electronics, software and networking, physical things can exchange data. No human
intervention is needed by these systems. We can send LIVE data such as temperature, smoke
value detected by a specific device to the Fire Department in this Arduino fire alarm system with
temperature and smoke sensor using the IOT project..
A detailed description of the IOT based Fire Alerting System Project
Two sensors, namely, temperature and smoke sensors, are used by the IOT Based Fire Alerting
System. There is an ADC converter that converts the analog signals received to digital at the end
of the sensor and then transmits them to the Arduino microcontroller. When the temperature and
the smoke exceed a threshold value, the micro-controller is programmed to turn on the buzzer. At
the same time, Arduino sends the data to ESP8266, the Wi-Fi board. The ESP8266 is a chip that
is used to connect Wi-Fi network microcontrollers. ESP8266 will then provide the following
details to the IOT website, where approved individuals can take appropriate steps to curb the fire.

Temperature (in Degree Celsius)

Device ID
Date and Time Stamp
Device ID is the specific ID that a device is issued to help workers access information relevant to
the location where the fire is detected.
The prerequisite for this IoT-based fire alarm device is the connection of the Wi-Fi module to a
Wi-Fi zone or hotspot. This project will also be carried out without an IOT module. We used a
GSM module in place of the IOT module, which activates an SMS when the buzzer is switched
on.

Intentionally, the project is for house protection where the primary point is to prevent the
occupants and the properties inside the house from getting fire accidents. The Arduino
Uno board is used in combination with the ATmega328 chip. The key controller used is of
course, the ATmega328 that regulates the temperature sensor's home fire alarm. To
detect the heat from the burn, an LM35 temperature sensor is used.When the system
detects the temperature of 50.0 C or more, it will immediately display an alert notification
on LCD display.
Through this system, it can help users to improve their safety standards by having immediate
response in preventing accidents. This will eventually allow the users to protect their lives and
the properties as well from the disaster

Applications and Advantages of Fire Alerting System using Temperature
and Smoke Sensor
A wide variety of systems include a fire alerting system. Arduino's IOT-based fire alarm system
can be used in chemical plants, shopping centers, local stores, educational institutions, parking
areas, businesses, etc.
Using WiFI can be used as a precautionary measure at all the locations mentioned above, and
can help to alert the fire departments early. IoT-based fire alarm warning system. As soon as the
buzzer clicks ON if sufficient and immediate action is taken, it will help to prevent
Question & Answers
Question: Is the buzzer going to turn ON, even though someone is smoking cigarettes?
Response: Yes. Even when it senses tobacco smoke, or candle flame, the buzzer will turn ON.
Question: Is there a way to stop the cigarette smoke and candle flame buzzer turning ON?
Answer to No. What we can't do.
