FIREGUIDE – An Advanced Emergency Response Platform Integrating Chatbot Assistance, Path Finder, and Alert Systems for Enhanced Fire Safety

– Fire emergencies in residential and urban settings pose significant risks, leading to potential injuries, fatalities, and property damage. While current safety measures, like fire alarms, provide basic alerts, they lack real-time, actionable guidance during crises. This work introduces FIREGUIDE, an innovative web- based platform designed to bridge these gaps. FIREGUIDE integrates a pre-trained chatbot for immediate assistance, a pathfinding tool for navigating safe evacuation routes, and a geolocation-based alert system to disseminate notifications within a 1-2 km radius. The chatbot module, powered by Natural Language Processing (NLP), offers contextually relevant guidance derived from historical fire incident data, empowering users to make sound decisions under stress. The alert system ensures prompt communication with nearby individuals, facilitating quick responses and coordinated evacuations. Meanwhile, the pathfinder tool provides dynamic, real-time route updates, enabling effective navigation to safety and reducing panic. By combining all these advanced tools, FIREGUIDE underscores the potential of modern technology to strengthen fire safety protocols and boost community resilience. This integrated approach aims to enhance situational awareness, minimize confusion, and improve response strategies during fire emergencies.
