Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;Fire is the visible effect of the process of combustion. At various places such as offices, hospitals, schools, colleges, industries, etc sudden fire may initiate and spread which can cause losses. The losses due to fire are not recoverable. So, it should be detected and extinguished as early as possible. Types of fire may be classified as due to ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids and gases, energized electrical equipment, combustible metals, cooking oils and greases. For all these types of fire, water is the best and easily available resource for suppression. So, various existing systems include water for suppression of fire. Once fire is detected by these systems or any high end foam based system, they may kill fire but makes loss of important documents, electronic devices, furniture, etc. This is because sprinkler based system covers all portions spanning over a radius of 10 feet or more irrespective of whether there is fire or not. To recover all these faults and losses, this paper proposes point to point fire suppression system, by image and video processing for detection and automated controls for suppression of detected fire.</p>
