The document describes a student project to design a low-cost fire alarm system for single-family homes. The system will use an Arduino board along with sensors like a flame sensor and buzzer to detect fires at different locations in the home. When smoke or fire is detected, the system will alert residents through an alarm. The circuit diagram and requirements are provided. The conclusion states that the project aims to create a microcontroller-based fire alarm that functions similarly to systems used in commercial buildings but at an affordable price point for residential use.
