DEVELOPMENT OF A SMART RESIDENTIAL FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM Article Review: Development of a Smart Residential Fire Protection System \"Development of a Smart Residential Fire Protection System\" -By Juhwan Oh, Zhongwei Jiang and Henry Panganiban Introduction: Due to uprising in the incidence of residential fire around the world, it is an essential to develop an active fire protection system in residential structures, which will increase the safety 1 DEVELOPMENT OF A SMART RESIDENTIAL FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM 2 rating as achieved previously. In every year approximately three hundreds Seventy One thousands and Seven hundred fire incidence occurs in the USA in residential buildings with compare to similar trend in the U.K where about forty three thousand and five hundreds cases of residential fire happens yearly with a significant loss of life and property damages, that has a substantial influence on both economy. The results of the fire incidents have stimulated the promotion and implementation of fire safety requirements especially in advanced countries; with these facts, it is commanding that the development of smarter residential fire protection system is very much necessary since the tendency of residential fire is increased. Article Summary: The talking/focal point of this article is establishing the most effective technology depend fire protection system in the residential buildings by using of fire sprinkler system in arrangement through other modern technology for instance the fire alarm system, smoke alarm, combination with gas and heat censors which assists to ensure quickly and early detect fire incidence in residential buildings. In modern society, there is a need of the wireless technology as a part of the fire-fighting equipment using with the fire alarm system. The scientific mechanism of this process is very significant how they are connected through a wireless communication system that rapidly enhances nosiness in a fire occurrence. Authors' Main Point: The authors' main point in this article is to let allow the reader to know and understand the projected fire detection and extinguishing system has played in reducing hazards in the housing condition where installing a smart fire sensor network using wireless communication sytem. Also, author laid out in this article how the wireless technology has enhances quick DEVELOPMENT OF A SMART RESIDENTIAL FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM 3 communication sending warning alarm within building residents, owner and the fire department in reducing severity of fire hazards in the building. An additional main point is to make sure the reader understand the important of fire sprinkler technology in the residential building how they are interconnected to other fire protection system and devices to provide accurate safety. Authors' Intended Audience: As I would like to say that the authors' intended audiences took account of the building residents, owners, building administrators, fire fighters and engineers as well as the students of fire protection technology who needs to understand the functionality of the sprinkler system and other fire protection technology. Also authors'' intended audience could be extended to safety and health manager, and personnel involved in the day to day running of the residential building activities either passively or actively, since safety concern is a duty of every member of the society (Goetsch, 2011). Specific Issues Addressed in the Article: Yes, the following specific issues were addressed in the article: Effects of fire hazards on the economy More or less developments in fire protection technology Significance of fire sprinkler system in residential buildings Networking of fire protection systems in residential buildings through wireless communicationc system and its advantages Applications of the Article: Since it is difficult to make sure of the Fire Protection Technology without fully understanding of the mechanism by which it is connected with each other either wirelessly or through the use of cable; with fulfill that gap the research article \" Development of a small Residential Fire Protection System\" is applicable to the Fire Protection Technology course DEVELOPMENT OF A SMART RESIDENTIAL FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM 4 perfectly. This aspect of the article makes it very applicable and thus supports the information in my textbook adequately. The authors could expend on the main points as an Enhancement: I would like to say the main points of this article easily could be extended by the authors discussing the consequences of obstruction presence in the sprinkler system; and also how the obstruction can affect the functionality of other fire protection system in the building. As per Klaus (2013) also could expand in this article by writing about how maintenance, testing and inspection is directed on the fire protection system as related to the NFPA 25. This improvement might have added more appreciating to the audiences who do not have the course materials. Conclusion: At the end of the day, to minimize the of level of losses life and property, it is necessary that the development of smart, effective and efficient residential fire protection system included wireless technology demands of current world.
