Since this happened during early morning, most of the occupants(labourers) were sleeping and so couldn't notice the fire in time; besides the factory building itself was illegal &amp; didn't have proper fire safety.<div><br></div><div>If there was a fire alarm, lives could have been saved and if that alarm was capable of sending alerts outside (SMS/Internet) then at-least outside help could have been received in time.</div><div><br></div><div>To be frank, I didn't have any fire alarm at my house. Frightened by this incident I searched for one on the market and the ones with decent ratings where overwhelmingly <a href="https://www.amazon.in/D3D-Touchscreen-Wireless-Security-Complete/dp/B01A73HIV8/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1T720A8HY4ODT">expensive</a>. I'm of middle income category, if these are expensive to me, no wonder many here aren't even aware of fire safety systems let alone someone spending money on it for a building housing poor labourers.<br><br></div><div>Why are these expensive when a smartphones in the country are half the price?</div> 3 points posted by Girish /problems/63-inexpensive-iot-fire-safety-system-iot-firesafety 63 Fri, 27 Dec 2019 13:12:00 +0000
