Abstract

Fire safety is an essential concern in both residential and industrial spaces. Conventional firefighting techniques frequently call for human assistance, which is not always adequate or timely. This study discusses the design and development of an automatic fire suppression system that uses an Arduino UNO microcontroller, a 5 V single-line relay, an infrared (IR) sensor, a buzzer, and a 5 V DC pump. The system identifies a fire by detecting infrared radiation emitted by flames through the IR sensor. Upon detecting a fire, the system activates the DC pump to spray water to extinguish the fire, and an alarm sounds to alert nearby individuals. The primary aim of this project is to create an efficient, affordable, and simple fire suppression solution suitable for small-scale environments. Fire outbreaks constitute significant hazards to individuals and assets, demanding the establishment of efficient suppression technologies for fires. This study describes the design and development of an efficient fire extinguishing mechanism employing the Arduino UNO microcontroller. The device incorporates flame sensors, temperature sensors, and a servo-controlled extinguisher that can identify and put out fires effectively. Upon sensing a fire, the system generates an alert and launches the fire suppression equipment. The system under consideration offers a cost-effective, productive, and autonomous approach for the prevention of fires in residential and commercial environments.

Keywords: Arduino UNO microcontroller, infrared (IR) sensor, DC pump, water pump, motors
