System for proactively forming and maintaining environmentally-clean chemical fire protection zones over the property surfaces of a neighborhood of homes
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.
FOAM DELIVERY CHUTE
A foam delivery chute to improve the aerial firefighting process of dropping fire suppressant foam onto fires. The chute is made up of fire-resistant material arranged in a Kresling pattern and designed to provide a guide for the fire suppressant foam. This results in much more accurate delivery of foam, thus making the entire process much more efficient and accurate. The chute is extended or retracted by a mechanical shaft system and is operated by the pilot of the aerial vehicle.
Systems and methods for prioritized fire suppression
A system for providing instructions directed to facilitating the completion of an aerial mission in an environment includes one or more sensors mounted on a vehicle; a transceiver configured to transmit an instruction directed to facilitating the completion of the mission to an electronic display; and a server comprising a processor coupled to memory of the vehicle containing processor-readable instructions. The instructions causing the processor to, responsive to receiving a factor associated with the mission, compute the instruction directed to facilitating the completion of the mission based on adjusting a cost function, the factor being at least one of a boundary condition of the cost function or a constraint of the cost function.
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) controlled netting system and method thereof
An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) controlled netting system is disclosed. The system includes a mesh netting and a battery powered UAV. The mesh netting includes a plurality of nettings arranged as interspersed layers in a mesh form. Each of the plurality of nettings has fire-resistant property. The battery powered UAV is present at an aerial location and the mesh netting is coupled to the battery powered UAV. The battery powered UAV is configured to maintain the mesh netting afloat and auto-adjust size of the mesh netting and porosity, based on one or more of size of embers in a fire and the quality of the fire.
Mobile fire-fighting assembly
Mobile fire-fighting assembly suitable for movement with an aircraft, wherein the mobile fire-fighting assembly comprises a fire extinguisher unit and water supply unit detachably arranged to each other by means of a suitable connection assembly enabling movement of the fire extinguisher unit and water supply unit together as one unit and separately.
