ABSTRACT
Fire detection and its blow out is dangerous job. It can put life of firefighter at risk. In many
fire accidents firefighters are losing their lives every year throughout the world. To avoid this
conflicts research and development in Artificial Intelligence gives rise to robotics. These
robots are designed to use in extreme conditions where human interruption become less and
robots are using for various work. We are using this implemented robot to assist firefighters
and to reduce risk of their lives.
