ABSTRACT
Determining and extinguishing the fire is a dangerous job for a fire extinguisher. To this
problem the fire fighter reaches the destination quickly and prevent the fire. Due to this fire
fighter are constantly at a risk of losing their life. Technologies has come to rescue this issue.
This paper gives you the technical solution to this mentioned problem. These robots are
designed to use in extreme condition whereas humans’ interruption becomes less and robots
are using several works. An arduino UNO is microcontroller for needed operation. A vessel
of water and apparatus for putting out flames organization with pump is got on the machine
made to act like man body and its operation is did from microcontroller 1 out-put through
right sign put out from sensor. The complete operation is controlled by Arduino UNO
microcontroller.

Keywords:-Arduino UNO, water pump, smoke sensor, dc motor.
