Sensors are wireless devices used for monitoring and recording the surrounding physical and environmental parameters. The data collected is transmitted continuously to a base station. A collection of such wireless sensors form a network called Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Fire hazard monitoring and evacuation for building environments is a novel application area for the deployment of WSNs. Here, an emergency-adaptive, real time and robust routing protocol called EAR is presented. A comparison of the performance parameters is made with EAR and AODV by varying the number of nodes and also by changing the simulation time. The metrics chosen are Average End-to-End Delay, Throughput, Average Jitter, Packet Delivery Ratio and Carried Load. Analysis and performance study is done using QualNet 7.1 simulator.
