The study, entitled Automated Mini Fire Station and Sprinkler System Using Water in a Creek, focused only on the development and design of the automation for the sprinkler system. The designed is specified only for the University of Morong Rizal system in Barangay San Juan. This study analyzed the impact of using a combination of automation and manual control of the mini fire station and sprinkler system in terms of suppressing fires. The study makes an alternative way of preventing fires that is beneficial to the University of Morong Rizal System and can lessen unfortunate things that may occur such faulty electrical wirings, heating equipment and malfunctions. This innovative solution streamlines fire protection operations and response times, using advanced systems like flame sensors, fire alarms, smoke detectors, relays, and voltage regulators. This technology allows for faster resource deployment, potentially saving lives and minimizing the damage inside the building. The study used developed and descriptive research methods, including evaluating, testing, analyzing circuits, revisions, measurements, and calculations. To make sure that every part worked, the researchers tested the devices. In order to guarantee that the prototype is capable of producing the intended results. Also employed all the computations and calculations needed for the study during the prototype's creation. Based on our knowledge and information-gathering, we inspected everything from the least number of materials used to make the prototype to the most necessary components and equipment. The study perform analysis and periodically consult with advisors to determine the amount of our project required for material measurements and estimations. The data was collected using bucket method, tester, tape measure, and an adapted questionnaire, resulting in a more efficient design. The data gathered helped the researchers gather sufficient evidence to support the study findings. The study focused on meeting the following criteria for the Automated Mini Fire Station and Sprinkler System using water in creek. With respected to the criteria were functionality, maintainability, sustainability, workability, user friendliness, and efficiency of the prototype. The study conducted an actual survey for the fire departments of Morong Rizal to get the average weighted mean for the criteria of the prototype. Based on the evaluation of the expert respondents, the developed device has been accepted in terms of five key areas: functionality, maintainability, sustainability, workability, user friendliness, and efficiency of the prototype. The overall computed weighted mean for functionality, maintainability, performance efficiency, user friendliness, workability, and sustainability of the device evaluated by the respondents is 4.6, with a verbal interpretation of very much accepted. In terms of maintainability, the overall computed mean is 4.5, with a verbal interpretation of very much accepted. The study was able to develop the Automated Mini Fire Station and Sprinkler System using water in a creek. The prototype is designed to be controlled automatically and manually at the front of the component box. Based on the findings and results of the study, the researchers concluded the following observation; In relation to the first objective of the study, which is to develop a prototype of the Automated Mini-Fire Station and Sprinkler System using water creek with the following features in terms of following. Filtering process, Fire reservation water tank, maintaining water level using water stopper, Flame Sensor Detection, and Firefighting operations. The researchers accomplished the desired result. The cost of the materials used in the device does not affect the performance and overall functionality of the device as long as the components are all properly connected to each other. With the use of the results from the adapted questionnaire checklist methodology and conducted manual tests, the researchers determined that the system design, features, and functions were very much acceptable by the respondents and can classify as realistic design of modern firefighting devices; The Automation of device developed is acceptable and has decent performance in terms of flame sensor processing. However, the range, real time response, and the distance of the building from the flame sensor can affect depends on the spreading of fires; With the use of the results from the questionnaire checklist methodology and conducted manual tests, the study determined that the system design features, and functions were highly acceptable by the respondents and can classify as realistic design of firefighting system. Based on the presented findings and conclusions, the following recommendations are hereby offered; To enhance the developed device, in terms of its flame sensor detection feature, it is recommended to use different and reliable sensor in detecting flame; To enhance the accuracy of the flame sensor of the developed system, it is recommended to have an adjustment on the components of the sensor processing like choosing better sensor for better response of the sprinkler system and for future researchers, it is highly recommended to add a feature that detects errors, 360 rotations, and faults on the system to ease the difficulty on tracing of it when performing system maintenance.
