This paper presents a cost-effective, user-friendly, and dependable fire and gas detection system leveraging the capabilities of an Arduino microcontroller. The system employs an MQ2 gas sensor module for gas detection and a flame sensor module for fire detection. Upon the detection of either gas or fire, the system initiates an alarm, activates LED indicators, and communicates the situation through a 16x2 LCD display. Furthermore, the system can be configured to issue SMS alerts to specific recipients. Designed for versatile applications, it finds utility in diverse settings, including residential, commercial, and educational environments. It exhibits proficiency in detecting an extensive array of gasses, encompassing methane, propane, and carbon monoxide, while also displaying sensitivity to various flame types, including those generated by wood, paper, and plastic. Installation and upkeep are straightforward, with the Arduino microcontroller and sensor modules easily adaptable to a small breadboard or circuit board. The strategically positioned LCD display and alarm ensure swift notifications to occupants in case of potential hazards. Notably, this system is budget-friendly, with the Arduino microcontroller and sensor modules available at reasonable prices from numerous online and retail suppliers. Rigorous testing has validated its effectiveness in gas and fire detection, establishing it as an invaluable asset for safeguarding lives and property against fire and gas-related risks
