Micro Air Vehicles have been used for many applications in recent times like helping in natural disasters for locating people, for surveillance, fire sensing, and many military applications. Many commercially available MAV’s today focus on image based sensing and help locating people and property. Due to increased fire accidents there is an urgent need to relook at MAV application for not only for fire sensing but also from extinguishing. Towards a an extensive survey is conducted to choose a right structural configuration among four available models namely fixed wing type, rotor type, bird type insect type models. The design principles of these vary due to variation in structural configuration and operating principles. A survey of existing types is carried out which is simple yet have the capability to carry a payload for carrying fire extinguishing gas. Out of all rotor type micro air vehicles has the easy operation and manuararable features. The attachment mechanism to Macro Air Vehicle is the key aspect in dicing applications that required pay load carrying. Various attachment mechanism for grease, camera, and evaluated the mechanism for a better mechanism for carrying extinguishing gas is lacking. The sensor techniques are evaluated and cross compared a ultra-light high resolution sensor is needed for knouting onto micro air vehicle fire and smoke and flame sensors are evaluated. All the commercially available micro air vehicles are compared for a majority of them as such no micro air vehicle designed specifically for fire extinguishing. Review indemnifies a the need for a MAV for fire extinguishing A survey of aircraft, train, bus accidents that took place in recent times is undertaken for understand the end effects of accident rather than root causes. While the root cause will enable a better engineering design where end effect is necessary to safe guard the human life. In a recent study [1] it was brought out that majority of fatalities are due to crash accidents. In each of these crash accidents end effect of fire that endangered the lives of people. The occupant’s inability to respond quickly to fire lead to fatality. Even though Trains, Buses, aircrafts etc., are equipped with fire sensors that could sense and give an alarm. As the progress in technology happened sensing technology has been improving upon. There is a need to put together available sensing techniques of smoke and fire so that a sophisticated technique can still be developed based o lacunae. Current research aims at a consolidate the available fire and smoke sensors as on date. A start of the art review of sensors which will guide the designers for choosing a fire or smoke detector. In general fire consists of a visible part flame and other smoke which is gas form. This will ultimately help in better system design for future. In this paper we reviewed about different MAVs which are in existing for the fire detection and many more applications. This paper is to tell that we should have micro air vehicle which can not only identifying the fire but also it should some extent to mitigate it up to some extent also notified some change should come over the existing MAVs at present.
