a fan controller connected to an HVAC unit,

a wireless transmission unit connected to the relay,

a thermostat,

a display unit,

a micro-controller for display unit,

a wireless receiver for the micro-controller,

a telephone system,

wherein upon detection of a smoke by any one of the smoke detectors, the respective wireless transmission unit connected to the smoke detector passes a signal to a normally closed relay to open and to cut-off the power supply to the thermostat as well as fan controller thereby shutting off the fan unit; and activates the respective camera and the wireless transmission unit to transmit a signal to a wireless receiver connected to the micro-controller so as to display the location of the fire on the display unit connected to the micro-controller.
