About FireAlert

What the device is, who built it, and where it is useful.

What is FireAlert?

FireAlert is a device that watches the air for the particles a fire puts out before there is anything to see.

Two variants are available: portable (battery-powered for quick deployment) and stationary (solar and battery powered for long-term monitoring).

Battery System

Provides power to the device in the field without an external energy source.

Solar Panel

For the stationary variant — charges the battery for long-term operation.

Microcontroller

Controls sensors, processes data, and manages communication.

Weatherproof Enclosure

Keeps the electronics dry and working through weather that would finish bare boards.
