Fire safety is highly inaccessible for Filipino households. The innovative approach of G.O.O.F. provides an easier mechanism for extinguishing fires and additional safety factors (i.e., smoke alarms and GSM module), unburdening the public from the setbacks of commercial fire extinguishers. The product tackles Class A fires started by wood, paper, and cloth in typical Filipino households sized at 10m x 2m. G.O.O.F. reacted the fastest at 0.5m, 2.5m, and 4.5m distances with paper fires (12.78s), followed by cloth fires (14.12s), and wood fires (16.48s). The GSM module reacted the fastest with cloth and wood fires (5.24s) and paper fires (5.34s).
