Insight into Smart Fire Detection Systems

Fire can cause an impact on people, property, and the environment in all countries around the world. A fire can start in an instant and continue to rage until its source is depleted. It can destroy homes and property, causing injuries and taking lives within a matter of seconds. Hence, in building design and management, the fundamental consideration will be fire safety but unfortunately, fire safety is not given prior importance. Today firewalls are more associated with Information Technology (IT) security than with physical safety. In recent days, buildings are more complex but technologies for fire safety are not given enough importance by the constructional engineers and owners of such buildings. This survey paper provides a review report about various technologies used in fire engineering for building smart fire detection systems with different features.
