DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A GSM/SMS BASED
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
A fire alarm system is used primarily to evacuate the premises in the event or occurrence of a
fire condition and then secondarily to report the fire to the proper authorities, in this paper
basically a low cost fire detection and control system based on smoke and heat detection is
proposed. The use of wireless automation in almost all the field of power, gas, agriculture and
security systems has over the years provided novel solutions to remote operations, in the paper
the implementation of a SMS based communication system is incorporated to a smoke detection
system in the case of a fire. The implemented design is cheap and effective. The SMS sending
feature included in the design increases the reliability of the system. The design has been
developed since the social and economic cost of natural disasters which has increased in recent
years due to population growth, change in land use patterns, migration and unplanned
urbanization, environmental degradation and global climate change. Fire considered being
natural or manmade, thus the management shall provide safety of the building occupant and
properties. The system has come to light through the way of inspiration to develop a compact
system, based on the fundamental ideas of safety, security and control.
