It is employed in aircraft hangars for the protection of aircraft, personnel as well as the hangar structure. The need for a fire alarm in a hangar with algorithm for extinguishers cannot be overemphasized. The structure of the hangar building, type of aircraft housed in the hangar and activities carried out at the hangar such as inspections, overhauls and modifications of aircraft, determine the type of fire alarm to be used, whether it should be automatic or manual 2. The detection employed, be it smoke detection, heat sensing or both and the process of extinguishing in the face of a fire threat or hazard is equally important. The effectiveness of the alarm is dependent on genuine alerts and not false alarm triggers, hence in this research paper, the employment of intelligent detection using comparators in programmed IC, the Micro-controller, was interfaced with a 555 Timer, a multi-vibrator for generating aural sound for alarm, LCD Display for indicated readings as well as algorithm for extinguishing using water or foam via sprinklers. The basic work started with a block diagram representation, thereafter, individual subsystems, which form the building blocks were analyzed and the components parts identified. A circuit diagram for the project was analyzed and built using Proteus. This was simulated and found to be achievable, hence a program was written in C++ for the micro-controller using Arduino Language known as the source code. The results show hangar fire detection alarm with algorithm for extinguishing and was investigated as an effective means of suppressing fire threat in the hangar 4.
