System and method for fire detection

A building management system for predictive fire detection comprising:

• an input component receiving data corresponding to a personal object entering a building boundary and a location of the object tracked within the building boundary by a mobile tag co- located with the personal object and tracked by location sensors distributed within the building boundary, the personal object being associated with a user profile and a first fire hazard property;
• a processor coupled to the input component, the processor determining that the personal object is in a proximity to an area object, the area object being associated with an area of the building boundary and a second fire hazard property being different from the first fire hazard property, wherein the processor determines that the personal object is in the proximity to the area object by recognizing a changed characteristic of the personal object detected by an area sensor of the area, the changed characteristic corresponding to a particular fire hazard associated with the first and second fire hazard properties, and by recognizing a changed characteristic of the area object detected by an area sensor of the area, the changed characteristic corresponding to the particular fire hazard associated with the first and second fire hazard properties, wherein the processor determines that a fire hazard meets a fire hazard threshold based on a correlation of the first and second fire hazard properties and a proximity of the personal object to the area object, wherein the processor determines a probability that a combination of the first fire hazard property and the second fire hazard property will cause the fire hazard, and wherein the processor utilizes a statistical model to draw inferences based on historical data associated with the first and second hazard properties;
• and
• an output component coupled to the processor, the output component providing a command to perform a fire protection action in response to determining that the probability of the fire hazard meets the fire hazard threshold, wherein the fire protection action includes elevating a sensitivity of an area sensor located at the area of the building boundary, in response to the correlation of the first and second fire hazard properties and the proximity of the personal object to the area object.
