Abstract
Application of wireless sensor networks (WSN) and Internet of Things (IoT) used to
provide real-time monitoring of fire outbreak in markets. The system integrates three subsystems
namely; sensing subsystem which uses multiple sensors for detecting fire outbreaks. Data
processing subsystem which collects data from the sensing subsystem through Xbee, analyses, and
uploads data to the cloud. If values exceed sensor threshold, an alarm is triggered and notification
is sent to stakeholders via mobile application subsystem. The integration between sensing, data
processing, and mobile application subsystems pave a new way for the mitigation of fire outbreaks
at its early stage.
