Design and Implementation of Fire-Alarming System for Indoor Environment Based on Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor network (WSN) as an emerging networking technology with strong capability to locally and collaboratively sense and interpret data from environment, has been widely implemented in various emergency situations including firefighting. In this paper, we propose a fire-alarming system called fire-alarming system for indoor environment (FASIE) which innovatively integrates wireless fire-alarming network with handheld fire-rescuing support system. Unlike traditional firefighting networks with implementation of WSN, FASIE is capable of providing full service to firefighting activities including fire-alarming, fire-rescuing and firefighter orientation. Aiming to better illustrate FASIE, we first give an overall description of FASIE and presents the architecture of the system. And then, the hardware and system performance are introduced.
