Abstract:
Rapid industrialization and vast life situations caused the number of various hazardous and non-hazardous industries, high rise building, shops, storage facilities, oil and gas facilities etc. These are vulnerable sources of fire due to the presence of inflammable material. When a fire occurs in such situations, fire fighting is a difficult task to achieve successfully. If we use a fire truck to extinguish the fire it limits the access to the fire point and causes various life accidents of fire man. And also the long postures by holding the hoses and resisting the forces of back pressure due to water is a major issue faced by the fire-fighters. In this paper we are introducing a FIREMAN ROBOTIC ARM which enables better fire fighting features without the exposure of fire man. Here we use arduino based microcontroller and C programming methodology to function the robot. To establish the movement of the robot we use chain driven wheel which yields more stability. The robotic movement is based on the remote control. The water jet is provided both in horizontal and vertical direction to put out the fire. So this kind of new fire fighting methodology with proper controlling mechanism is effective than the current fire fighting systems.
