    This document describes the design and working of a simple fire alarm system. It consists of a fire switch, buzzer, battery, and other components. The fire switch contains a bimetallic strip that completes the circuit when heated, causing the buzzer to sound and an LED to light. When tested with a burning candle, the alarm successfully detected the fire within 5-10 seconds. The document concludes the system is reliable and can help save lives in homes, schools, and other buildings.

    FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
    Fire alarm system is a system used to detect fire in
    immediate surrounding. In general it is either
    classified as automatic , manually activated or
    both. Automatic fire alarm system can be used to
    notify people to evacuate in the event of fire or
    emergency.
    They are designed to fulfill two general requirements
    : protection of property and life.
    A Fire alarm system has a number of devices working
    together to detect and warn people through visual and
    audio appliances when smoke, fire are present. . Alarms
    can be either motorized bells or wall mountable sounders
    or horns. Fire alarm sounders can be set to certain
    frequencies and different tones including low, medium
    and high, depending on the country and manufacturer of
    the device. Fire alarm warning devices can also be set to
    different volume levels.

    All the materials are assembled. We have a buzzer that will sound as
    soon as a fire is detected by the fire switch.
    The main component of the whole circuit is the fire switch that is
    responsible for its working.
    FIRE SWITCH:
    It is a device that works on the stimulus of temperature. It consists of a
    bimetallic strips that are initially separated when there is no fire
    that is the temperature is normal room temperature. As soon as
    there is a fire the temperature goes up and the strips come closer to
    touch each other and complete the circuit. This leads the current to
    flow in the circuit and the buzzer sounds with lighting of the LED.
    We have seen that initially there was no buzzer sound as
    there was no fire detected when we bring the burning
    candle near the fire switch with a time lag of 5-10 secs the
    buzzer rings and the LED glows thus completing the
    circuit. When we remove burning candle away from
    switch the buzzer continues to give the sound for
    sometime and then stops.
    • We conclude that the fire alarm successfully detects the
    presence of fire and atmospheric changes related to
    smoke. In some cases fire alarm is a part of complete
    security system, in addition to a burglary protection
    system.
    • Fire alarms are suitable for homes, schools, coaching
    classes and function as a catalyst in saving lives.
    • THE FIRE ALARM CONSTRUCTED IS RELIABLE AT LOW
    COST.
    • Components of the circuit should be handled
    carefully.
    • Connecting wires should be insulated to prevent
    disturbance.
    • Connections should be tight as it may break easily.
    At least 20 people were killed in a massive fire which broke out at a
    four-storey building, housing a coaching centre, in Surat on Friday 24
    May 2019 . Many people, mostly teenage students, died either due to
    suffocation or by jumping off the building to escape the FIRE. The fire
    was reportedly triggered by a short circuit.
    Such a big accident could have been avoided if the fire alarm system
    was set up . Thereafter , Vijay Rupani ordered a fire safety audit of
    schools, colleges and coaching centres in the state.
