Abstract

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) in recent times have become a dominant technology in environmental monitoring and in early detection of conditions like fire outbreaks in order to save lives and properties. In this article, the design and development of a WSN fire detection system is presented. For accurate and reliable detection of fire, three sensors (i.e., MQ-2, DS18B20, and KY-026) are employed in addition to other WSN key components for the respective detection of gas, temperature, and infrared, which are major fire parameters. The system further has a battery monitoring scheme for the observation of the energy resource of the nodes and to ensure their viability. A developed graphic user interface is deployed for the remote monitoring of the entire system and its data. Results obtained from the different test conditions using combustible solid, inflammable liquid, and gas show that the system performed optimally. The developed system is recommended for residential and small office applications.

Saeed et al (2018) proposed and designed a four coupled core component fire detection system comprising of a wireless sensor network, middleware desktop application, web application and an alert subsystem. The composite system basically employs the fire weather indexing techniques as fully described in (Sarwar et al, 2019). The network consists of sensor nodes deployed in the environment of interest and base station for storage of data from sink node. The base station relates the node data to a middleware which is a desktop application. The middleware makes a graphical representation of nodes data and uses some sort of fire weather indexing to tell when fire is ignited and dispatches alarm message to the web application and concerned individuals are notified via a web application interface.
