Abstrakt: Fire alarm system is used to avoid the incidence of fire outbreaks and to protect lives and property. They find direct applications in the protection of the premises of industries, private and commercial buildings. Meanwhile, an ideal fire alarm system should be able to sense the required heat or high temperatures, transmit signals, and give alert with notification when there is an occurrence of fire. Previously proposed fire alarm systems come in one form or the other, but some of them are based on unfounded assumptions and without any practical foundations. Few with related design features lack human factors and ergonomics in their design and no basis for evaluation. Thus, proposed in this work is an automatic heat detector and microcontroller-based fire alarm system. It employs the use of detection system that operates as the fire detector, buzzer for alarming and motor pump to stop the fire and the entire system is controlled by microcontroller. The microcontroller is programmed using C-Programming in such way that the system can detects smoke, light, flame, heat etc. The prototype of the system was tested in real-life and it was found to work perfectly, the detail of its development was explained while recommendations for its full-scale implementation were also given.
