Story

Overview

Fire incidents are becoming a continuing concern in Singapore, notwithstanding the strict regulations and rapid emergency response. Some of the recent incidents showing the constant threat which fire poses include an electrical fault leading to a fire in an Ang Mo Kio flat, a recent industrial fire in Kaki Bukit that caused a death, and fire from the collision of an oil tanker. With the dense population and high-risk areas in Singapore, early fire detection is of utmost importance. The low-cost solution aims to increase fire prevention while enhancing public safety in Singapore.

To enhance fire safety and early hazard detection, we developed a Automated Fire Door System. Unlike conventional smoke detectors that may delay response, our system continuously monitors ambient temperature variations. When abnormal heat levels are detected, an alert is triggered, and the automated door system activates to facilitate emergency evacuation.

This real-time fire prevention mechanism is designed for homes, workplaces, and industries, ensuring proactive safety measures. By integrating intelligent heat detection with automated responses, our system significantly reduces fire risks and enhances public safety in Singapore.

The aim of this project is to increase fire prevention while enhancing public safety in Singapore.

Our Project

Our Automatic Fire Door System consists of the ENV IIsensor to continuously monitor temperature and detect unusual heat levels. Unlike smoke detectors that only work when there’s smoke, this sensor spots rising temperatures early and sends an alert before a fire starts. A QR code on the M5Stack lets users check real-time temperature data, allowing quick action to prevent fires.

A light sensor is used to measure the intensity of the environment. If the detected light level exceeds a certain threshold, the system activates a servo motor that will automatically open a door with said servo motor attached.

The integration of these sensors provides a cost-effective and proactive fire prevention solution suitable for workplaces and industrial settings. By continuously monitoring temperature and light conditions, the system enhances fire safety and helps mitigate potential fire hazards in Singapore’s densely populated and high-risk areas.
