House fire is one of the major concerns for designers, builders, and residents of property. In the case of detecting fire, individual sensors have been used for a long time, but they cannot detect the level of fire and notify the emergency response units. To solve this problem, this study attempts to propose an intelligent early fire detection system that would not only detect the fire by using integrated sensors but also notify the appropriate authorities including fire department, ambulance services, and local police station simultaneously to protect valuable lives and properties. Signals from the integrated detectors e.g., heat, smoke, and flame go through the machine learning algorithms to check the potentiality of the fire as well as broadcast the predicted result to various parties using a GSM modem. To consolidate the predicted output, structured forest for fast edge detection has also been applied. The final outcome of this development also minimized false alarms, thus making this system more reliable.

Contemporary fire alarm systems use automatic functions to detect the occurrence of an event that may result in a fire. They receive a signal from a fire sensor (smoke, heat or carbon monoxide detector) and automatically transmit it to the fire alarm panel.

Ionization-type smoke alarms have a small amount of radioactive material between two electrically charged plates, which ionizes the air and causes current to flow between the plates. When smoke enters the chamber, it disrupts the flow of ions, thus reducing the flow of current and activating the alarm.
