EMBER SCREEN
An ember screen for protecting a building from ember attack comprising a series of individual fire-resistant screens joined laterally. The screens are sealedly attached to the building above any fire susceptible features, typically to a gutter. The bottom of the screens are held in place and sealed to the ground with the aid of sand bags.
FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Modular fire protection systems and associated methods of installation for protecting structures and/or vehicles from wildfire damage. Exemplary fire protection systems for protecting structures will typically include at least one palletized fire wrap panel for deployment on the roof of the structure.
Rain maker wildfire protection and containment system
A mobile system and method of use thereof for containment of a fire event is provided in accordance with various embodiments of the current invention. The system herein designated “Rain Maker” is composed of a plurality of conduits with a manifold of fire nozzle connections in various configurations to discharge at extensive pressures specific fire suppressants. Each conduit can be operated individually, or connected to another conduit by a hose having a predetermined length forming a contiguous system thereby efficiently traversing large areas of land. The system can be operated either remotely as well as manually. An alternative embodiment can be installed in residential, commercial and industrial applications. Each system can be custom designed based on environmental engineering requirements and system application. The system components further have the capability of incorporating Global Positioning System (GPS), sensors, monitoring instruments, robotics, all terrain multi-purpose vehicles, satellite imaging and wireless technology.
Automated structure and curtilage protection system and associated methods
Embodiments of the present invention are related to an automated structure and curtilage protection system including a mechanical system hub, a piped network, a plurality of spray nozzles, and a remote user control portal. The mechanical system hub includes at least one of a control center, a pump, a pressure tank, a plurality of controllable valves, and a chemical injector assembly. The system is structured to autonomously take system action depending on a hierarchy of preprogrammed threat levels. The system is also structured to autonomously deliver water at set time intervals onto a structure and curtilage when instruction sets corresponding to relative threat levels have been activated. The system is further structured to autonomously deliver chemically infused water solely onto a structure's curtilage for a set time interval when instruction sets corresponding to a relative threat level have been activated.
ATTIC VENT FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM
A system that deploys attic vent covers when there is the immediate threat of fire, as well as methods and device relating thereto, is disclosed. This system includes varied cover types and deployment methods to utilize with a range of attic vents found suitable for use in residential and commercial construction.
Remotely Controlled Fire Suppression Assembly
A remotely controlled fire suppression assembly includes a water reservoir that is positioned adjacent to a building and a fire retardant reservoir that is positioned adjacent to the building. A pumping unit is positioned adjacent to the building and the pumping unit is in fluid communication with each of the water reservoir and the fire retardant reservoir. A fire sensor is coupled to the building and the fire sensor turnings on the pumping unit when the fire sensor senses heat and moisture that correspond to conditions of an active fire. A plurality of sprinklers is provided and each of the sprinklers is in fluid communication with the pumping unit. The plurality of sprinkler is distributed on and around the building to spray the mixture of water and fire retardant for extinguishing a fire on or around the building.
Universal protection system
A fire-protection system comprising two elements is disclosed: 1) A retractable fire-protection covering or mat that may be automatically deployed over a building and stowed after the threat has passed; and, 2) A water fire spray system for wetting the lower aspects of a building to protect the lower and uncovered aspects of a building from fire. Using these systems simultaneously allows the user to mitigate forest and brush fire threats that may periodically threaten a building.
BOOTH
A booth with a ceiling and an inside space includes: a fire extinguisher that is positioned in an opening portion formed in the ceiling, has a fire extinguisher main body storing a fire-extinguishing agent, and sprays the fire-extinguishing agent into the inside space; and a support tool that is disposed on the upper surface of the ceiling so as to surround the opening portion and has an opening being smaller than the maximum outside diameter of the fire extinguisher main body and corresponding to the outside shape of at least a portion of the fire extinguisher main body. The fire extinguisher main body is supported by the support tool from the lower side in the gravitational direction.
AUTOMATIC FLUID SPRAY SYSTEMS
An automatic fluid spray system includes a water pump fluidly connected to a water source, a return conduit positioned to allow water exiting the water pump to return to the water source, and a spray line comprising a conduit and a plurality of spray elements. The automatic fluid spray system also has a valve that allows water exiting the water pump to either return to the water source or enter the spray line and one or more temperature sensors in electrical communication with a control circuit. The control circuit is electrically connected to the valve and configured to move the valve to supply water to the spray line when a temperature of at least 150° F. is detected by the one or more temperature sensors.
GPS tracking and mapping wildfire defense system network for proactively defending homes and neighborhoods against threat of wild fire by spraying environmentally-safe anti-fire chemical liquid on property surfaces to inhibit fire ignition and flame spread in the presence of wild fire
A GPS tracking and mapping wild fire defense system network configured for defending homes and neighborhoods against threat of wild fire by proactively spraying environmentally-safe anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid on property surfaces to inhibit fire ignition and flame spread in the presence of wild fire. The GPS tracking and mapping wild fire defense system network includes: a command center in operable communication with a wireless communication network; and one or more GPS-tracked anti-fire liquid spraying systems, each having an integrated supply tank and a spray pump deployable at properties having building structures, for spraying the properties with environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid using a spray nozzle assembly connected to said spray pump by way of a fluid connection. The system network further includes: a GPS system for transmitting GPS reference signals from a constellation of GPS satellites deployed in orbit around the Earth, to a GPS transceiver installed aboard each GPS-tracking anti-fire liquid spraying system, for GPS processing and GPS-coordinate location; and one or more mobile computing systems, each for use by a registered user including property parcel owners, spray contractors, and other stakeholders on the system network, to request and receive services supported by said system network. Each mobile computing system has a display screen supporting: messaging services; display of maps indicating where wild fires have been identified and mapped, tracked and ranked in terms of risk to the user and GPS-specified property; and scheduling of spray task to be performed, and recording tasks that been completed, and which are in progress, on the GPS tracking and mapping wild fire defense system network.
