Abstract— A fire alarm system has a number of
devices working together to detect and warn people
through visual and audio appliances when smoke,
fire, carbon monoxide or other emergencies are
present. These alarms may be activated
automatically from smoke detectors, and heat
detectors or may also be activated via manual fire
alarm activation devices such as manual call points
or pull stations. Alarms can be either motorized
bells or wall mountable sounders or horns. The
primary thought in the present field advances are
computerizations, power utilization, and expense
adequacy. Automation is implied for the decrease
risk of human neglection. Two sensors viz. The
Temperature sensor and Air quality sensor which
are utilized as a part of the Fire Detection System to
recognize a fire.The temperature sensor records the
temperature of the room. The Air quality sensor
detects if there is any gas present in the room.Here
we have utilized an Arduino Uno to control all the
command from both the sensors and execute them
legitimately. Fundamentally it acts as the mind of
the entire framework.
The main objective of this project is to detect any fire
in the warehouses and inform immediately about it to
the owner of the warehouse as well as the local fire
authorities to help prevent or curb the fire.
Using temperature sensor and air quality sensor the
system will detect a fire breakout when there are no
people around the vicinity. It is possible for these
warehouses to catch fire at night time in absence of
any person to guard the warehouse. This may result
in damaging the entire warehouse as well as the
products in it and also the area around it.
This project is created due to the awareness of the
increasing number that caused by the fire accidents.
This project is proposed to help in reducing the risk
of fire accidents.
II.METHODOLOGY
1. Temprature sensor
It will keep track of the real time temprature to
the room. If the temperature of the room starts
increasing or any gas leak is detected, the respective
authorities would be notified immediately.

I. INTRODUCTION 2. Gas Sensor

Fire safety is the biggest concerns of safety especially
for businessmen having huge warehouses where it is
easy for the products to catch fire. It is possible for
these warehouses to catch fire at night time in
absence of any person to guard the warehouse. This
may result in damaging the entire warehouse as well
as the products in it and also the area around it.
This project is created due to the awareness of the
increasing number that caused by the fire accidents.
This project is proposed to help in reducing the risk
of fire accidents.
It detects the presence of gases in an area,
often as part of a safety system. This type of
equipment is used to detect a gas leak or other
emissions and can interface with a control system so
a process can be automatically shut down. A gas
detector can sound an alarm to operators in the area
where the leak is occurring, giving them the
opportunity to leave. Gas detectors can be used to
detect combustible, flammable and toxic gases,
and oxygen depletion. This type of device is used
widely in industry and can be found in locations,
such as on oil rigs, to monitor manufacture processes

and emerging technologies such as photovoltaic.
They may be used in firefighting.
3. GSM module
It is used to inform proper authorities by sending
them text messages .

A fire alarm system has a number of devices working

heat detectors or may also be activated via manual

IV. COMMONLY USED METHODS TO
DETECT FIRE

A fire alarm notification appliance that is used in
the United States and Canada, a Wheelock MT-24-
LSM horn/strobe.
A fire alarm system has a number of devices
working together to detect and warn people through
visual and audio appliances when smoke, fire, carbon
monoxide or other emergencies are present. These
alarms may be activated automatically from smoke
detectors, and heat detectors or may also be activated
via manual fire alarm activation devices such as
manual call points or pull stations. Alarms can be
either motorized bells or wall mountable sounders or
horns. They can also be speaker strobes which sound
an alarm, followed by a voice evacuation message
which warns people inside the building not to use
the elevators. Fire alarm sounders can be set to
certain frequencies and different tones including low,
medium and high, depending on the country and
manufacturer of the device. Most fire alarm systems
in Europe sound like a siren with alternating
frequencies. Fire alarm electronic devices are known
as horns in the United States and Canada, and can be
either continuous or set to different codes such as
Code 3. Fire alarm warning devices can also be set to
different volume levels. Fire Alarm systems in
the United Kingdom are tested at a weekly basis in
compliance with the BS-fire 2013 regulations.
V. DESIGN FLOW OF SECURITY SYSTEM
VI. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, this project would be of great
importance in warehouses of different products
where it is very likely to catch fire. This project is
mainly focused on fire security system in places
away from the locals in which case it won’t be
alerted to the firemen and fire station in case of a
huge warehouse fire.
Most warehouses are located away from the local
vicinities, which would make it difficult for the
warehouse owner to know about the fire but due to
the IoT based Fire Security System, the owner would
be directly notified in case of a fire or a fire threat.
