Fire can be either an extremely useful tool in our daily lives or a dangerous existence in itself... more Fire can be either an extremely useful tool in our daily lives or a dangerous existence in itself that results to disasters that often cost more than money. Fire incidents are often the ones that generate the most damage in a short amount of time due to it being rapid and leave no other salvageable parts. To combat these, early fire detection and prevention devices have been invented and made. In this research, an early fire detection device has been made along with a message sender response. The device has been made to detect temperature, gas and flame, which are possible signs of a fire. The device consists of the circuit containing an Arduino module, GSM module for message sending, sensors, buzzer and LEDs, and an acrylic casing to house the circuit. The device detected an average maximum distance range of 8.33 cm for gas, 177.33 cm for flame and 2.43 cm for temperature. The device also has successfully sent text message to designated cellphone number indicating the situations the device has detected such as high temperature and gas leak. A survey was performed for feedbacks about the usability, aesthetics and functionality of the device and results showed a possible marketability potential with a Net Promoter Score of 33%. Overall, the device can serve as a functional early fire detection device based on tests and surveys.
