Firefighters risk their own lives while performing their required tasks, which is rescuing under dangerous and hazardous environment. There have been numerous amount of cases in which the firefighters themselves were not able to survive and died before they even managed to carry out their duties. Therefore, a mechanism or system to monitor the condition of a firefighter on duty is very much needed and must be implemented. This system should be able to allow another personnel who is not on duty to monitor the condition of the firefighter throughout the whole period when he or she is on duty under dangerous environment. Through this, fast and immediate actions can be taken whenever there is an emergency or accident that occur and thus fatalities involving firefighters while carrying out their mission can be prevented. With the digital air flow sensor used, it will be able to transmit real time data to the monitoring system and indicate the control centre whenever the oxygen level in the tank is low.
