Description
Summary:Firemen are well trained to rescue fire victims. As firemen rescue the victims, the danger does not only face by the victims but firemen as well. Examples of danger faced by firemen are oxygen tank run out or unconscious due to impact of an object on the head. So a system must be implemented to observe current conditions of firemen during fire rescues. Saving that firemen require their position inside the building which is unidentified. Even if the position of the fireman is traceable, the way to get there is still unknown. Getting the way to the position is hard due to visual limitation as fire and smoke is all around. Therefore trail identification system is needed to track exactly the path traveled. A trail marking system includes signal tracking and the devices used must be able to withstand heat. Typical electronic devices includes RFID transmitters are not able to withstand high temperature. Therefore, applying heat and fire insulation to the devices is needed. The challenge is to find the right materials for insulation which allow signal transmission.
