This research is regarding the important of monitoring system for a firefighter while they are doing rescue during fire. Unfortunately, there is no such a system that can help us to monitor their condition while they are in the fire zone/area. The usual system which is using walkie talkie is not practical because it have many disadvantages. It is because during fire, when firefighter going inside the building to safe the victim, there is no system monitor them whether they have enough oxygen, or whether they can find the fire extinguisher in a very smoky room or are they faint because they hardly to breath. In this research, we basically monitor the heart beat of firefighter to avoid any critical heart beat based on predetermined values. Using the most outstanding wireless system nowadays, Zigbee make the process of monitoring the firefighter easier. This research is still at the early stage, but the idea to improvise the usual system used and the responsibility as an engineer to contribute to the society definitely become a great combination to uphold the credibility of this research area.
