Abstract:
This capstone project aimed to enhance fire safety in school environments by developing a system that detects and suppresses fires automatically. The project was designed for Diplahan National High School, addressing the lack of advanced fire protection measures in rural educational institutions. Using a flame sensor, Arduino microcontroller, relay module, and water pump, the system detects fire, triggers an alarm, and activates water discharge to suppress flames without human intervention. The study followed a system development methodology, including hardware integration, Arduino programming, and prototype testing. Results showed that the system could detect flames up to 24 cm in front and within a 30° angle when turned to the right or left, activating water discharge within two seconds through the relay module's precise control. Its 18.5V lithium-ion battery provided reliable power for up to four hours. Key findings demonstrated the system's effectiveness in fire detection, suppression, and emergency alerting.
