An embedded system of dedicated and real-time fire detector and locator technology as an interactive response mechanism in fire occurrences

Fire alarm system is considered as one of the most essential mechanisms for safety against fire. In fact, most structural buildings especially the commercial ones are required by law to be equipped with this technology. The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) in the Philippines have recorded a total of 12,301 fire incidents in the year 2013, in the year 2014 there were 15,897 and in January 2015 a total of 1,848 incidents have transpired. Out of these incidents, 244 lives were lost in 2013 and 263 in 2014. Aside from the lives that were taken, these destructive killer fires also caused a lot of homeless individuals that have brought property damage to 5.5B in 2013, 3.3M in 2014 and 411M since January 2015. In spite of the figures, the BFP is still implementing measures that foster safety and fire prevention in whatever structural setup you are living or staying in. This information has motivated the development of an embedded technology of detecting and locating fire occurrence for possible deployment in the BFP agencies or fire stations in the country to provide immediate response and actions in mitigating fire incidents. The proposed system structure is an integration of sensors, microcontrollers and wireless sending of data. Homes, offices, schools or any building structure equipped with this technology will be an implementing measure in reducing the occurrence of destructive and killer fires.
