A system of reducing the spread of wildfires is provided. The system includes a fire retardant delivery system comprising one or more reservoirs containing a fluid under pressure and one or more distribution devices in fluidic communication with a single reservoir. One or more sensors for sensing characteristics of a fire may be configured in operable communication with the reservoirs and/or the distribution devices, such that upon direction from the sensors the fluid can be delivered to ambient surroundings. In addition, the system may include one or more conduits between the reservoir of fluid and the distribution devices, such that the conduits can elevate the distribution devices above surrounding buildings and vegetation to provide that the fluid is distributed about the reservoir without the surrounding building or vegetation interfering therewith.

Methods of and systems for spraying a defensive path around vulnerable neighborhoods out in front of wild fires to make sure that an environmentally-safe fire break, created by the spray application of anti-fire (AF) liquid, defends homes from the destructive forces of raging wild fires. The methods include spraying homes with environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid, in advance of wild fires. The preferred anti-fire chemical liquid used does not depend on water to extinguish fire, so that, even after a month or two after spray application on dry brush around the neighborhood, the anti-fire chemical continues to work by stalling the ability of a fire to advance and consume homes.

An automated and remotely-controllable wildfire ember misting-type suppression system and method that employs an electronic wildfire ember detection device using infra-red (IR) and other thermal-imaging sensors, and relative humidity sensors, to automatically detect the presence of a wildfire in the vicinity of the wood-framed building and automatically generate a cloud of wildfire ember suppressing mist consisting of microscopic droplets of clean anti-fire (AF) liquid that (i) instantly evaporates into vapor when contacting a flying wildfire ember and (ii) breaks and/or interferes with free-radical chemical reactions supported on the surface of each combusting wildfire ember flying in the wildfire storm moving about the wood-framed building.

A wild-fire protected shed structure for installation on a parcel of real property, or within a garage, and having a fire-protected internal storage space for storing and protecting diverse items of personal property during raging wild-fires. The wild-fire protected shed structure has a Class-A fire-protected wood-frame structure constructed from Class-A fire-protected lumber, and having an interior side and an exterior side. Radiant energy insulation is installed on the exterior side of said wood-frame structure, for insulation to radiant energy sources located outside of the wild-fire protective shed structure. Thermal energy insulation is applied to the interior side of the wood frame structure, to provide thermal energy insulation to the interior of the wild-fire protected shed structure to maintain the interior temperature relatively cool, despite extreme temperatures outside while wildfires are circling the wild-fire protected shed structure. Class-A fire-protected fiber cement panels are installed over the radiant energy insulation, to provide fire protection to the radiant energy insulation. A fire-door is installed in a front door way portion of the Class-A fire-protected wood-frame, providing essential fire-protection from the door way portion of the wildfire-protected shed. Also, a Class-A fire-protected steel roofing system is mounted on the roof portion of the wild-fire protected shed structure.

The present technology essentially is a portable fire damage reducing system and method including a fluid system for storing or dispensing a fluid. The fluid system can include a head unit, a body unit and a tail unit. The head unit can include a first end connectable to a fluid source. The body unit can include a first end connectable to a second end of the head unit, and a second end. The body unit can be configured to store fluid or to deliver fluid. The tail unit can include a first end connectable to the second end of the body unit, and a second end having a configuration capable of being open to the atmosphere for dispensing the fluid from the body unit or connected to the first end of the head unit to form a closed looped system with the fluid stored in the body unit.

A method for detecting an event in or around a building. The method includes recording a baseline signal characteristic that characterizes a wireless signal transmitted between devices in or around the building during a baseline time period and recording a second signal characteristic that characterizes the wireless signal during a second time period after the baseline time period. An event in or around the building is detected in response to a determination that the second signal characteristic is abnormal relative to the baseline signal characteristic, the event degrading the wireless signal during the second time period. An alarm is triggered in response to detecting the event.

A system for forming and maintaining GPS tracked and mapped environmentally-clean chemical-based fire protection zones formed over property and ground surfaces in and about a neighborhood of homes, that proactively inhibit fire ignition and flame spread when exposed to wild fire. The system includes a GPS-tracking anti-fire (AF) liquid spraying system wirelessly connected to a wireless communication network supporting a network database. The GPS-tracked anti-fire liquid spraying system is used to spray particular GPS-specified ground surfaces in and about the neighborhood, with an environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid so to form environmentally-clean chemical fire protection zones over the GPS-specified property surfaces, while generating GPS-coordinate and time/date stamped data records pertaining to the application of the environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid spray during the formation of the environmentally-clean chemical fire protection zones. The GPS-coordinate and time/date stamped data records are transmitted over the wireless communication network for storage in the network database. A mobile computing system is used to access the GPS-coordinate and time/date stamped data records from the network database, relating to the formation of the GPS-specified environmentally-clean chemical fire protection zones, so as to verify that the GPS-specified environmentally-clean chemical fire protection zones were formed at the GPS-specified property surfaces on the particular date, to proactively inhibit fire ignition and flame spread when exposed to wild fire.

There is provided networks, systems and displays for providing derived data and predictive information for use in emergencies; and in particular for use in wildfire emergencies. More particularly, there is provided systems, equipment and networks having a control system having an operation control command plan for performing an operation plan. in embodiments the operation plan can be a hydration plan, a lockout plan, a low line pressure plan, an adjacent structure based plan, an auto-activation notice with default activation plan. In an embodiment there is provided a parcel by parcel control and optimization of the EFMS for a particular area.

The roof top kit for extinguishing fire embers is a fire resistant structure that is adapted for use with buildings. The roof top kit for extinguishing fire embers is adapted to mount on the roof of the building. The roof top kit for extinguishing fire embers comprises a passive barrier and an active suppression system. The passive barrier is a fire resistant barrier that is mounted on the building such that there is space between the passive barrier and the structure. The passive barrier provides a physical barrier that prevents embers from wild fires from falling directly upon the roof of the structure. The active suppression system saturates the passive barrier in water. The water extinguishes ignitions that may occur from the embers that have landed on the passive barrier.
