1. A method for communicating an event in an enclosed building, the method comprising:
detecting, via at least one mobile sensor at a mobile device, a condition;
evaluating the condition in response to the detecting, by at least one microprocessor at the mobile device;
transmitting, from a first BLUETOOTH network adapter at the mobile device, a first signal in response to the evaluating to a second low-energy BLUETOOTH network adapter at a first stationary device associated with a first known location, the first signal comprising information associated with the condition;
transmitting, from the first stationary device to a gateway device via a low-energy BLUETOOTH mesh network, a second signal in response to the first signal, the second signal comprising information associated with the first stationary device and the condition;
transmitting, from the gateway device to a server, a third signal in response to the second signal and comprising information associated with the first stationary device and the condition; and
identifying, by a second microprocessor, the location of the condition based on the information associated with the first stationary device transmitted in the third signal and the first known location, and generating an alert signal in response thereto.
