Abstract

As modern firefighting environments become increasingly complex, traditional firefighter equipment and operational methods are no longer adequate to address the high-risk challenges of fire rescue operations. Fire scenes are characterized by complex and hazardous environmental factors, with firefighters facing multiple threats such as extreme temperatures, dense smoke, and toxic gases. Therefore, ensuring the safety and efficiency of firefighters is of paramount importance. This study integrates multiple sensor technologies to enable real-time monitoring of firefighters' physiological status, posture changes, and fire scene conditions. The system incorporates ErgoLAB wireless ECG and PPG sensors, the BWT61CL posture sensor, and the MAG14mini infrared camera, which are capable of simultaneously capturing key physiological data and heat distribution in the fire scene. To ensure data accuracy and real-time performance, the study employs efficient signal preprocessing techniques, including noise reduction, baseline correction, and time synchronization. In addition, wireless transmission technology and multimodal data fusion algorithms are utilized to comprehensively analyze the firefighters' status and fire scene conditions. This approach significantly enhances the precision of firefighter safety monitoring and operational efficiency, demonstrating substantial innovation and practical value.
