Fire safety is a critical concern in both residential and industrial environments. Traditional fire detection systems often rely on centralized control, which can delay response times in the event of a fire. This paper presents the design and implementation of a fire safety system based on the ESP32 microcontroller, which integrates real-time sensors for temperature, smoke, and gas detection. The system features remote monitoring capabilities using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, sending real-time alerts and data to a mobile application or cloud service. This approach ensures faster responses to potential fire hazards and enhances safety. The system’s architecture, real-time performance, and challenges are discussed, along with a case study demonstrating its effectiveness in a smart building environment.
