Fires cause billions of dollars in damage and thousands of deaths each year. Firefighting robots are being deployed around the world to reduce the loss of human life and the amount of property damage. High-rise buildings are used for both business and family homes. Buildings with dozens of floors present a great challenge to firefighters. Firefighter ladders cannot reach high enough to fight fires at the top of the building. Going into the building itself, in order to extinguish the blazing fire, is typically too dangerous and puts firefighters at risk. Monitoring, locating, and extinguishing the fire in the smallest amount of time is crucial to controlling fires in highrise buildings. This paper introduces humanoid robots capable of moving towards and extinguishing a fire and locating and rescuing any humans unlucky enough to be trapped in the inferno. This paper is one part of a Cooperative Fire Security System using HARMS (CF S 2 H) that detects, locates, and extinguishes a fire and rescues human beings using the Human, Agent, Robot, Machine, Sensor (HARMS) protocol.

Recent trends are to build tall buildings in big cities as a way out of the current housing overpopulation problem. These new structures unveil problems that if not addressed in time could cause catastrophes of unimaginable impact. One of those problems is the incidence of a fire threat happening upstairs in one of those buildings. Research solutions include implementation of multi-agent fire safety systems for fire threats in high rise buildings. Humans, agents, robots, machines and sensors communication model is used for indistinguishability of actors. This work discusses the implementation of the unmanned ground vehicles to spot the real location of the fire.

“…Communication between these subsystems is established through Human Agent Robot Machine Sensor (HARMS) [3] model ( Figure 2). …”

Growing population and shortage of land in urban areas led to development of tall buildings. Tall buildings have advantages and at the same time disadvantages. One of the disadvantages is that they are not fully safe in fire situations, because fire trucks cannot reach them. Fire danger can be prevented and eliminated if it is detected early. Implementing WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) and Big Data and collectingsending data to other members of Cooperative Fire Security System using Human Agent Robot Machine Sensor (CFS 2 H) messaging protocol establishes faster communication and collaboration among all the members of the whole system. The stationary WSN generates and analyzes the data and wirelessly communicates with other members of the system. Big Data is the central data manipulating center which communicates with all the system members and controls the whole system work. This paper presents detailed implementation and application of WSN and Big Data in cooperative firefighting system.
