The detection of fire in its early age is both complex and significant. In this paper the defect of traditional fire detection is being pointed out. A new method for fire detection, that is Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), is been proposed on the base of analyzing the data of fire experiment. ANN has the capability of learning by itself. Therefor, it can come over the weakness of traditional fire detection techniques. The results of computer simulation also show that ANN is an efficient technique in fire detection.
