In our country fire accident in automobiles is a very common
phenomenon. Many wealth and lives are fallen in danger. As a
developing country we have no modern technology to solve this
problem. The main sector of fire brigade has limitation to
overcome it. If an automatic fire extinguishing system available,
offers greater flexibility. In conventional automatic fire-
extinguishing systems utilizing a fire-extinguishing gas, a bomb
containing a fire-extinguishing gas, such as halon gas
(Bromotrifluoromethane), under pressure is provided at a
location. Several gas jetting nozzles are arranged at desired
locations within a engine region when a fire occurs therein. The
gas jetting nozzles are connected through a valve and a pipe to
the bomb. Fire sensors are arranged at desired locations within
the region. In response to a fire signal from the fire sensors, the
valve is opened to cause fire-extinguishing gas to jet from the
gas jetting nozzles into the region so that automatic
extinguishing can be effected therein. However, since such
 OBJECTIVES OF THE
PROJECT:
• Portable automatic fire protection system is disclosed
comprising battery powered ,independent suppressor
units, each including a supply of fire extinguishing fluid
and a fire detector. The connection of the individual
unit's control circuits provides a control circuit network
that automatically initiates an extinguishing fluid
discharge from all units in response to fire detection by
any single unit. The main object of this paper is to
provide an automatic fire-extinguishing system which
eliminates the above described disadvantages of the
prior arts, and to enable easy installation or removal of
the system in or from a automobile wherein automatic
fire-extinguishing should be effected and to allow a
flexible arrangement of gas jetting nozzles according to
the size and shape of the vehicle. The main part of this
task is the involvement of a microcontroller which may
be considered to be the nucleus of the whole system.
 WORK
SCHEDULE:
Management has allotted a duration of
fifteen weeks to complete the project
completely including the report. Our batch
has divided this fifteen weeks with first
week for title confirmation, another weeks
for literature survey and design , other
three weeks for material identification,
later four weeks for fabrication and
remaining weeks for testing,
troubleshooting and preparation of report
 LITERATURE
SURVEY:
We have gone through nearly ten
literature survey which nearly matches our
idea and the concept automatic fire
suppression system for automobiles. The
journals gave an brief idea about
automatic working of the fire extinguisher
with the help of all the sensors and other
electronic devices. In this setup the
microcontroller acts as the power house of
the total setup were the whole process of
PROPOSED WORK:
• To design a prototype of an automatic fire
extinguisher system, so to showcase the
working of this system we have fabricated
an prototype of car bonnet were this setup
will be installed and the working will be
shown. So, for that we have purchased an
hollow cylindrical rods of certain
measurement and welded together with
arc and gas welding to fabricate an
prototype of a car bonnet, and the
electrical parts(sensors and MCU) are
FABRICATION:
We have fabricated a
prototype of car bonnet to
place our extinguisher
(project) setup and to
showcase the working
principle of it . For this we
have purchased hollow
mild steel cylindrical rod
and we used arc and gas
welding to join it firmly.
Then the welded parts are
grinded for smooth
surface finish, later this
 WORKING
PRINCIPLE:
The working principle of automatic fire
extinguisher system is that to put of fire in
automobiles which is caused due to short circuit
of battery and leakage of fuels from engine. In
situations like short circuit the fire is caused in
batteries or in the wires, first it produces smoke ,
the temperature increases rapidly and the flame
occur so at the beginning when the smoke is
produced the setup will produce an alert signal
to the passenger regarding the exertion of
smoke in the vehicle and then the temperature is
also displayed in the dashboard of the car ,this is
achieved with the help of smoke and
temperature sensor when there is an occurrence
TESTING:
The testing is done by creating an fire
source in-between the setup and to
check whether the sensors are
working properly, as the fire source is
created the flame sensor is senses
the flame and open the valve of the
fire extinguisher and releases the co2
gas and put of the fire, if this does not
takes place then the troubleshooting
of the setup should be done.
 RESULT AND
DISCUSSIONS:
The microcontroller based adjustable fire
extinguishing system for automobile has
been introduced. This system is applicable
to different sizes of fire extinguisher and
high controlling capability over them (for all
type of vehicle). The simple design of it
allows minimum of maintenance work.
There is a greatly reduced of malfunction,
as no moving parts the risk of false alarm
is also reduced. The price performance
relationship is cost effective. Despite of
having a narrow range of difficulty the
popularity of microcontroller based system
design in automobile is increasing day by
day .besides improved and advanced
