 4. Introduction
4.1 Fire Hazards in Vehicles and the Need for Early Detection

Fire hazards in vehicles are a growing concern, with severe consequences for both human health
and property. Monitoring the environment inside vehicles is crucial to detecting potential fire
risks early and taking necessary precautions. A fire detection system that monitors smoke and
temperature levels offers a simple and effective solution, enabling quick action in case of an
emergency.

This project aims to develop a compact and affordable vehicle safety system that detects smoke
and abnormal temperature levels in real time. By leveraging sensors such as the MQ135 for
smoke detection and the DHT11 for temperature measurement, the system provides an early
warning to vehicle owners, notifying them via a mobile device in case of any detected fire risks.

The system uses basic hardware components and simple programming, ensuring ease of
implementation and accessibility for a wide range of users. Its real-time monitoring helps raise
awareness about potential fire hazards, enhancing vehicle safety and promoting a quicker
response time to emergencies.

This project also serves as a foundation for future advancements, with potential features like data
logging, IoT integration, and smartphone connectivity, expanding the application of the system to
more extensive safety solutions.
