Abstract

Over the past years, there have been great advances in ICTs which have led to the development of fire monitoring and prevention systems. Despite the existence of these solutions, fire incidents especially in Tanzanian have been a major problem in industries which leads to the destruction of materials and loss of lives. With the help of wireless sensor networks (WSN) and the internet of things (IoT), the monitoring and prevention of fire outbreaks become easy and reliable. The present work explores the existing fire monitoring and prevention systems and then, designs and develops an innovative security system for early fire monitoring and prevention in Tanzanian industries through the use of emerging technologies such as WSN and IoT. The results of the system evaluation show that 88% of users were satisfied with its functionalities. This is because the system works in real-time and through the use of different sensors such as DHT sensor, MQ2 sensor, and Flame sensor to monitor humidity, temperature, smoke, flammable gasses, and fire outbreak in the different work areas. With the use of the mobile application and cloud subsystem, the developed system can timely alert the users via their mobile phones on the status of the fire and different parameters.
