AI Fire Detection System Introduced Across Sharjah's Buildings
The new initiative will use AI to monitor commercial and residential buildings 24/7 and reduce fire-related risks.
An advanced fire prevention system powered by artificial intelligence (AI) is being rolled out across Sharjah, aiming to monitor and detect fire hazards in buildings across the emirate. The initiative, launched by the Sharjah Prevention and Safety Authority, will use AI to provide 24-hour surveillance and early fire detection in both commercial and residential structures.
The smart fire detection system is designed to analyse building conditions in real time and issue alerts at the first sign of danger. This shift toward AI-driven safety reflects the emirate’s move from reactive fire response to proactive fire prevention. The technology will be integrated into building infrastructure, reducing the risk of fire-related casualties and damage while ensuring faster emergency response.
This development is part of a broader directive by H.H. Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, to adopt international best practices in safety and smart infrastructure. Authorities say the system will strengthen Sharjah’s emergency readiness and enhance overall safety levels across its urban and suburban areas.
