Abstract: Fire and gas leakage monitoring system is a system designed to detect potential fire and gas leakage risks in the environment. It usually consists of sensors and control units that detect the presence of combustible gases and hazardous materials, as well as smoke and fire. The system can then alert the appropriate personnel or take other appropriate actions, such as automatically triggering fire suppression systems or closing off areas of the building to prevent further spread of the fire or gas. This system can be used in residential, commercial, industrial and public safety settings. Industrial fires pose a significant threat to business operations. They can cause extensive property damage and loss of life, disrupt production and supply chains, and have a negative impact on the environment. Fire spread can be rapid and unpredictable, leading to potentially catastrophic results. The leakage of gas in industrial settings can have serious consequences. Gas leaks can be extremely dangerous and create hazardous working conditions, leading to potential fires, explosions, and the release of toxic gases and chemicals into the air. Additionally, gas leaks can lead to costly repairs, operational downtime, and a decrease in productivity. The effects of gas leakage can extend beyond the premises of an industrial facility and put the environment, public health, and the safety of workers at risk. The presented fire suppression mechanism is a self-monitoring system that detects the existence of fire, gas, temperature between a specific range of wavelength and suppresses the fire by spreading water flowing via multiple sprinkler-heads. The controlling unit used to manipulate the fire suppression mechanism is an Arduino Uno. The major advantage of this system is its capability to detect fire fast and run water through dedicated pipes using solenoid valve.
