This study employed Support Vector Machine (SVM) in the classification and prediction of fire outbreak
based on fire outbreak dataset captured from the Fire Outbreak Data Capture Device (FODCD). The fire
outbreak data capture device (FODCD) used was developed to capture environmental parameters values
used in this work. The FODCD device comprised DHT11 temperature sensor, MQ-2 smoke sensor, LM393
Flame sensor, and ESP8266 Wi-Fi module, connected to Arduino nano v3.0.board. 700 data point were
captured using the FODCD device, with 60% of the dataset used for training while 20% was used for
testing and validation respectively. The SVM model was evaluated using the True Positive Rate (TPR),
False Positive Rate (FPR), Accuracy, Error Rate (ER), Precision, and Recall performance metrics. The
performance results show that the SVM algorithm can predict cases of fire outbreak with an accuracy of
80% and a minimal error rate of 0.2%. This system was able to predict cases of fire outbreak with a higher
degree of accuracy. It is indicated that the use of sensors to capture real world dataset, and machine
learning algorithm such as support vector machine gives a better result to the problem of fire management.
