IOT BASED FIRE FIGHTING ROBOT

Abstract

Fire accidents have been occurring frequently these days, with or without the intervention of humans. A fire incident is a disaster that can potentially cause the loss of life, property damage, and permanent disability to the affected victims. Firefighters are primarily tasked to handle fire incidents, but they are often exposed to higher risks when extinguishing the fire, especially in hazardous environments such as nuclear power plants, petroleum refineries, gas tanks, etc. They also face other problems, especially if a fire breaks out in a small, cramped area, as they need to explore the ruins of buildings and obstacles to extinguish the fire and save the victim. In the case of high barriers and risks in firefighting activities, innovation can be used to assist the fire brigade. When the Robot detects a fire, it gives a message to the nodeMCU which will automatically sense the fire update the data on to blynk server and control the robot and start the water pump. It assists firefighters in extinguishing the fire. And it will perform its operation where firefighters can’t reach. This will save the risk of fire fighters' life and avoid any further damage.
