According to the government’s special fire investigation, the normal operation rate of fire- fighting equipment is only 40%. A remarkably low level of fire-fighting equipment’s operation rate is caused by intentional power off of equipment and absence of integrated management system. This conditions can cause delay the golden time of fire accidents and huge damage of human and property due to fire. As a first step to fundamentally solve these problems, this paper aims to detect malfunctions in firefighting equipment and build a real-time monitoring platform to reduce non-fire alarms and strengthen management systems. The platform developed in this study is a system capable of regular fire monitoring and state control of fire-fighting equipment, and can improve the safety management function of building fire-fighting equipment by providing fire alarm propagation and normal operating status information of fire-fighting equipment. In addition, it will be possible to provide a fire safety management environment that can collect/ analyze/report the cause of failure, rather than simply determining whether there is an abnormality in fire-fighting equipment and whether or not there is a system failure.
