Abstract

ABSTRACT This study explores the design, development, and implementation of fire detection and suppression systems leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The integration of sensors, microcontrollers, and wireless networks forms the foundation of these systems, enabling real-time monitoring and automated responses to fire outbreaks. The research reviews various models and methodologies, including vision-based flame detection, multi-sensor integration for heat, smoke, and flame monitoring, and automated water sprinklers triggered by fire events. Key components such as infrared flame sensors, temperature and humidity detectors, and GSM communication modules are highlighted for their roles in enhancing system efficiency and reliability. These systems not only reduce response time but also minimize false alarms and property damage. Advanced features, such as remote notifications via Android applications and cloud-based data analysis, improve situational awareness for stakeholders, including firefighters and building managers. This study demonstrates the potential of IoT-based solutions to revolutionize fire safety, offering scalable and adaptive models suitable for homes, industries, and remote areas prone to fire hazards
