Purpose: Fires continue to occur in spaces where fire safety infrastructure is insufficient, such as construction sites. In response, this study proposes an IoT-based fire safety module. Method: After examining relevant laws and regulations on temporary fire facilities and fire watchers, we designed and developed a module integrating flame, thermal imaging, and gas sensors, applying a mesh network and edge computing framework. Result: Even under the highly variable conditions of construction sites, the module effectively identifies fire location and risk level at an early stage, supplementing the limitations of fixed systems through LED and voice alerts. Conclusion: The proposed mobile fire safety module demonstrates the potential to reduce fire-related damage through early warning and evacuation guidance in areas lacking sufficient fire safety infrastructure. It is expected to contribute to a practical improvement of fire detection blind spots, including those at construction sites.
