A method of protecting life, property, homes and businesses from wild fire by applying environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) liquid spray using a wireless system network supported by GPS-tracking techniques. Intelligence is collected and GPS-specified maps and reports are generated on the wireless system network informing when environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid should be spray applied to GPS-specified property parcels, prior to the arrival of wild fires, using GPS-tracking AF chemical liquid spraying systems. The preferred clean anti-fire chemical liquid does not depend on water to inhibit the ignition of fire and flame spread, so that, even after a month or two after spray application on buildings and dry brush around homes and the neighborhood, the clean anti-fire chemical continues to work by inhibiting fire ignition and flame spread, and the ability of a wild fire to advance and consume property and homes.

An exterior fire suppressing system includes a flagpole that has a bottom end and an upper end. The flagpole has a height above a ground surface that is greater than 10.0 feet when the bottom end of the flagpole is anchored in the ground surface.

A method of installing the fire protection system on a building. The fluid delivery apparatus of the fire protection system can be provided to receive fluid from the fluid supply and positioned adjacent to desirous parts of the building to deliver a protectant solution from the fluid delivery apparatus to the building.

The nozzle assembly includes a union fitting body, a first compression nut threadably engaged with a first end of the side wall, a second compression nut threadably engaged with an opposite, second end, and a longitudinal aperture extending from the first end to the second end. A spray nozzle rotatably connected to the side wall is formed with a transverse spray channel in fluid communication with the longitudinal aperture. An apparatus embodiment optionally includes many of the nozzle assembly connected in series to one another by intervening water distribution pipes to form a water distribution network.

A wild fire defense system network for defending homes and neighborhoods against threat of wild fire by proactively spraying environmentally-safe anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid on property surfaces. The wild fire defense system network includes: a command center in operably communication with a wireless communication network; one or more GPS-tracked anti-fire liquid spraying systems, each having an integrated supply tank and a spray pump deployable at properties for spraying the properties with environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid using a spray nozzle assembly connected to the spray pump by way of a fluid connection; and a GPS system for transmitting GPS reference signals transmitted 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 signal processing and GPS-coordinate location. The system network includes one or more mobile computing systems, each for use by a registered user including property parcel owners, spray contractors, and other stakeholders on the wild fire defense system network, to request and receive services supported by the wild fire defense system network. Each mobile computing system includes a display screen for displaying graphical user interfaces supporting information including: messaging services; mapping services, indicating where wild fires have been tracked, mapped and ranked by the command center in terms of risk to certain regions at a given moment in time; planning services by the command center indicating wild fires to be proactively defend, provide the status of specific plans, and identify which plans are in active progress; and reporting services from the command center to the mobile applications running on the mobile computing systems, providing updates on the state of wild fire defense.

A wild fire defense system network for proactively defending homes and properties from wild fires. A GPS system provides GPS-location services to each system component in the wild fire defense system network, supported by a wireless communication network. First and second group of wireless GPS-tracked anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spraying systems are provided. The first group of wireless GPS-tracked chemical liquid spraying systems are assigned to homes and/or buildings in strategic areas of a specified region, for spraying the outside of homes and surrounding ground cover with environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid, to proactively protect the homes and surrounding ground cover from wild fire. The second group of GPS-tracked chemical liquid spraying systems are assigned to operators in the strategic area for spraying GPS-specified ground cover with anti-fire chemical liquid to create strategic clean-chemistry fire breaks that proactively protect GPS-specified property cover from wild fire. First and second groups of wireless mobile computing systems are deployed with mobile applications installed and configured for receiving messages and instructions from a command center operably connected to the wireless communication network. The command center sends instructions to home owners and/or specified contractors to apply environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid to GPS-specified homes and surrounding areas. The command center also sends instructions to operators to apply environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid to GPS-specified regions to create and/or maintain strategic chemical fire breaks in the region. By virtue of the present invention, the wild fire defense system network is capable of proactively defending homes and properties against wild fire, prior to arrival, by spraying homes and property with environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid using wireless GPS-tracked spraying chemical liquid systems.

A wireless wild fire defense system network supporting proactive protection of life and property in GPS-specified neighborhoods using GPS-managed delivery of environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spray to property before wild fire reaches the neighborhoods. The wireless system network includes a GPS system for providing GPS-location services to each system components in the wireless system network. A wireless communication network supports one or more network databases accessible by systems and devices deployed on the wireless communication network. A fleet of mobile GPS-tracked anti-fire liquid spraying systems are assigned to GPS-specified neighborhoods for spraying anti-fire chemical liquid on combustible property, buildings, and ground cover to inhibit fire ignition and flame spread wherever the anti-fire chemical liquid is sprayed.
