A novel approach for RFID based fire protection

Abstract

Every year lot of properties and lives are lost in fires. When the firefighters start extinguishing fires, they have to enter the fire affected region, but the main problem is that in most cases the firefighters don't have an overall knowledge of inside scenario of progress of fire. Sometime it can lead to death of firemen. As for example nationwide, of the roughly 100 firefighters who die on duty each year, a quarter loses their lives in fires, according to the U.S. fire administration [1].Nearly half the deaths are the result of heart attacks or other health-related problems. So, when a firefighter loses his life in the line of duty, it is a reminder of the complexity and peril of the profession, despite a dedication to improved equipment and training in recent years. So, if the firefighters have a prior knowledge about the nature of progress of fire within the building/premises, they can plan their action and movement accordingly. In this paper we have proposed a scheme for planning of fire fighting that will help the firefighters to extinguish the fire more effectively.
