A method of managing the proactive spraying of environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid on GPS-specified property surfaces so as to inhibit fire ignition and flame spread in the presence of wild fire. The method includes deploying a wireless system network supporting a command center, a network database, a plurality of mobile anti-fire chemical liquid spraying systems, and a plurality of mobile computing systems, each being operably connected to a wireless communication network. The GPS address of one or more GPS-specified parcels of property in a specified region, are registered in the network database. at least one of the mobile anti-fire chemical liquid spraying systems are deployed to a GPS-specified location, for spraying the GPS-specified parcels of property with an environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid. A supply of said environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid is deployed to the GPS-specified location of each mobile anti-fire chemical liquid spraying system, and the mobile anti-fire chemical liquid spraying system is filled with the supply of environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid. The deployed anti-fire chemical liquid spraying system is used to apply the environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid spray to the parcel of property, while remotely monitoring the application of the environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid sprayed on the GPS-specified parcel of property on a given date, and automatically recording the GPS-tracked spraying operations in the network database. The data records are updated in the network database associated with each application of environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid spray on one or more the GPS-specified parcels of property.

A method of proactively defending combustible property against fire ignition and flame spread in the presence of wild fire. The method involves establishing wireless communication between a GPS-tracking anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spraying system, and a wireless communication network supporting a network database.
