Project Summary

Fire fighter Drone is a machine developed by humans to guard human live, because the accidents happening during the fire extinguishing process is uncountable. This Drone main function is to detect fire and move towards the fire automatically to extinguish it from a safe distance using water. This Drone movement and behavior will be fully controlled by a programmable Arduino. This fire fighter Drone will also have a thermal camera and an infrared camera mounted over it. The purpose of thermal camera is to detect fire and the temperature and the infrared camera is to provide night vision imaging which will do live recording of the entire process of extinguishing. This live recording can be viewed in PC/Mobiles reference which comes along with a log in system as well. There are a lot of problems faced by fire fighters in the event of a fire breakout. So to save human lives we developed this drone.

Project Objectives

To detect fire in the disaster prone areas.
Also provides audio and visual indication.
Extinguishes fire on detection.
Reduce the efforts of human labor and level of destruction.
Its Use for to protect the large and tall buildings on fires.

Project Implementation Method

The main brain of this project is the Arduino, but in-order to sense fire we use the Fire sensor module. When fire burns it emits a small amount of Infra-red light, this light will be received by the IR receiver on the sensor module. We detect the direction of the fire we can use the motors to move near the fire by driving our motors through the L293D module. When near a fire we have to put it out using water. Using a small container we can carry water, a 5V pump is also placed in the container and the whole container is placed on top of a servo motor so that we can control the direction in which the water has to be sprayed.

Benefits of the Project

The fire fighter Drone helps in following ways:

To Detect the exact direction of the fire Source.
Capability of sensing accurately with increased flexibility.
Reduce Human efforts.
Reliable and economical.
Not sensitive to weather condition.
Map the scene to assess damage
Locate missing people after natural disaster
Footage for further training purpose

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Drones have the edge compared to manned aircraft for scouting and inspection as they use fewer resources and can be deployed more frequently. No paying for pilots, fuel costs, and maintenance. A single drone can cover vast areas autonomously with software that can be tuned to look for specific temperature when using a thermal camera.

The drone automatically provides the drone operator with real-time information about the position, altitude, and velocity of nearby manned aircraft. This increase in drone location awareness enables safer and more efficient use of airspace, particularly in locations where other manned aircraft may be operating. Thermal (infrared) cameras have the ability to see through smoke and to view objects emitting energy in complete darkness.
