Objectives The fire occurs frequently in our life and can lead to major accidents including life and property damage. We develop the system to fight the fire in the case of fire. Methods/Statistical Analysis We analyzed the cases of the fire accidents and the fire extinguisher around us. The fire can be extended to the accident if there is no person or if we don’t fight quickly when it occurs. If there aren’t any people around, the fire causes a fatal accident because we can’t put out the initial fire appropriately. And there are dry powders in the fire extinguisher, the powder become hard after a long time. Findings Through our analysis, it is clear that we can minimize the damage if we fight well initial fire and it is effective to use a fire extinguisher furnished in a certain space of the building. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the smart fire extinguisher system which uses a fire extinguisher in a certain space of the building. The smart fire extinguisher system proposed in this paper consists of three modules such as sensing module, control module and operating module. The sensing module detects a fire using three types of sensors such as five flame sensors, a smoke detection sensor and motion detection sensor. And then control module instructs an operating module to spray the powder of the fire extinguisher. However, if there are people around when a fire occurs, people can operate the fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire themselves. So, to detect a person near to the fire extinguisher, we add the human body detection sensor to the sensing module and through this, our system can stop a fire extinguisher operation. Improvements/Applications In this paper, we propose the method of firefighting using the fire extinguisher. Through this system, we can automatically manage the powder and spray a powder to the position of fire. © TJPRC Pvt. Ltd.
