 Introduction

The NOT, OR, AND, NOR, NAND, XOR, and XNOR logic gates may be utilized to create basic circuits that can be used to execute
useful and straightforward operations. The circuits are dependable because they are basic and the logic gates are dependable and
widely made. One such instance is the fire alarm circuit. The switch has to be activated by the circuit in order to work. A heat and
smoke sensor are included in the circuit, and two switches are connected to the sensors. NAND and OR gate was used with the
sensors to build the system.

 Significance

In order to safeguard and save lives as well as property, early fire detection is essential. A fire warning system may greatly minimize losses and increase fire suppression
efforts. Additionally, it is among the most essential things you can do to ensure fire safety. Early fire detection will notify you and assist you in responding swiftly so you
may be out of harm's way, even if you are asleep or otherwise occupied at work. Using different logic gates, it is possible to intergrade a fire alarm system. Because Your
fire detection system has to be coupled with a reliable fire alarm system in order to be successful. Fire alarms are essential for alerting people of homes or other structures to
a fire emergency. Here we have used two different logic gates, NAND and OR to build a fire detection system which could easily warn us about possible fire incident using
different sensor we have used for our system.

Data and Procedure
Here A represent Heat Sensor and B represent Smoke sensor. X or Red Light
represent both sensors are activated and Y or Green light represent sensor and
alarm is not active. 0 represent LOW value (Turned off) and 1 represent HIGH
value (Turned on). We see if Heat and Smoke sensor both are not active, we get a
green light which means none of the sensors are active at this moment, so we don’t
have any danger. When one of the sensors is activated, the red led activates and
that indicates that one of the sensors is sensing irregularities and fire alarm will go
off immediately. When both sensors are activated, the green signal turns off and
only red signal is on which means that Fire alarm is possibly sensing fire or danger.

Result and
Discussion This experiments’ major task was to validate the Fire detection system using digital
logic gates. The initial stage in this procedure was to create a truth table, which was
then used to develop the fire detection system. By monitoring the various logic
operations conducted in the circuit and matching them with their respective logic
gates such as NAND and OR we have constructed the system. We built it on a
breadboard with gate ICs and also multisim was used to complete the simulation of
the experiment. We faced a little issue while searching for appropriate components
on the multisim but completed our system on multisim following our truth table. As a
result of this experiment, we now know how to build a Fire detection system using
truth tables from combinational circuits. We also learn to build a working system
with basic digital logic gates.
