Smart fire detection and insurance systems have gained considerable attention from researchers and industries. At the same time, automatic requests for fire brigade services to cure fire and instant claims settlement to defend insurance fraud are lacking in literatures. We propose a trusted fire brigade service and insurance claim (FLAME) framework using blockchain for enterprises to provide immediate fire brigade services and prevent insurance frauds. A system model is presented to explain architecture, and overall functionality of FLAME using blockchain. Further, a sensing network and connectivity model is proposed to detect true fire and send an emergency service request to monitoring station. Smart contracts are designed to automate fire brigade service and insurance claim processes. A prototype of the FLAME is implemented on hyperledger besu blockchain using Istanbul Byzantine Fault Tolerance 2.0 consensus protocol. Simulation results show that latency and throughput of the FLAME are better compared to state-of-the-art models.
