Abstract

The fast nature of urban fires post threats in areas such as old buildings and narrow streets where fire can easily spread. As this problem continues to trouble communities, the need for better fire suppression systems must be implemented. Water-based fire suppression possesses disadvantages whereas powder-based extinguishers demonstrate superior safety when put to use in electrical fire situations. The research develops and tests the Smoke Detection System Integrated with Powder-Based Extinguishers (SD-SIPE) to determine its position as the leading fire suppression approach. Tests conducted under pre-experimental one-shot design methods determined how well SD-SIPE systems compared with regular sprinklers for fire detection and extinguishment. The researchers used a 12-item questionnaire and also adapted a Researcher-Made Instrument: 4-point Likert Scale to determine the systems safety and usability as well as dependability characteristics. The tests demonstrated that the SD- SIPE outperformed standard sprinkler systems for fire detection and extinguishment over various fire classes (A, B and C) by statistical criteria. Built-in automatic response functions enable instant fire suppression operations that minimize damage while stopping active fires from unleashing out of control. The research analysis identified specific areas needing improvement based on data collected about the cooling function capabilities. The SD-SIPE now stands as a functional fire suppression system which provides enhanced safety and effectiveness alongside reduced water-related property destruction and improved firefighting defense in urban environments.
