The embodiment of an aerial fire suppression system comprising of a water tank (104) clamped to a transport unit (100), and a snorkel (108) connected to the water tank (104) for pumping water. A straight boom lift (200) is mounted to the transport unit (100). The straight boom lift (200) has a tower boom (206) that can pivot downward from the transport unit (100). The tower boom (206) has extension booms (208, 210, 212, 214) attached to it that can extend to and fro. The inner most extension boom (214) has a main boom (218) mounted to it. The main boom (218) can pivot about the extension boom (214). Each end of the main boom (218) has a water cannon (230) mounted on it. The water cannon (230) consists of a monitor (232) that rotates about and a pivotal fire nozzle (234). The water cannons have the capacity to blast water or a product on a natural disaster. The technique enables the main boom (218) and water cannons (230) to maneuver and pivot within close proximity of a fire.

This “Wildfire, Forest Fire and Detection System,” herein referred to “Wildfire,” will use a combination or existing “on the shelf” technologies for specific use of detecting fires, forest fires, and wildfire by sampling the air for both smoke with both ionization and/or photoelectric smoke detector technologies and a temperature sensor in an outdoor enclosure distributed across a grid of forest, woodlands, prairie, and fire prone areas to detect presence of combusting ions and/or smoke that may signify a potential fire source or fire in progress. The system will use telemetry or cellemetry, to a satellite or cellular/wireless network to notify Command, Control and Dispatch of a fire potential long before the forest is ablaze leading to a wildfire. Smoldering embers and small fires can be more easily be extinguished by dispatching a small crew or water drop by aircraft log before the forest is burning. Wildfire will locate, and detect the direction and speed of the burn.

THE WILDFIRE SYSTEM WILL USE A COMBINATION OF TECHNOLOGIES THAT WILL DETECT SMOKE, COMBUSTION IONS, AND INCREASED TEMPERATURE OF EACH STATION STATIONS WITH TRIANGULATION LOCATION BY DISTRIBUTED STATIONS WITHIN THE FIRE PRONE AREAS TO THE COMMAND CONTROL CENTER OF POTENTIAL SMOLDERING EMBERS, SMOKE, OR FIRE LONG BEFORE THE FIRE PRONE AREA IS ABLAZE AND OUT OF CONTROL. THE SYSTEM WILL DETECT THE LOCATION OF THE BURN BY TRIANGULATION, THE DIRECTION OF THE BURN, AND SPEED OF THE BURN.

The present invention provides a composition of a fire extinguishing and fire-spread preventing agent that reduces a burden on the environment and is suitable for extinguishment and fire-spread prevention (re-ignition prevention) of large-scale fire(s), such as a forest fire, and a fire extinguishing and fire-spread preventing agent using this composition. The composition of a fire extinguishing and fire-spread preventing agent and the fire extinguishing and fire-spread preventing agent relating to the present invention are characterized by containing salt of phosphorus, potassium salt and a dispersion medium.

A process of forming strategic chemical-type wildfire breaks on ground surfaces to proactively prevent fire ignition and flame spread, and reduce the production of smoke in the presence of a wildfire. The process involves using a wireless mobile information network for managing the application of a clean fire and smoke inhibiting slurry composition containing clean fire inhibiting chemicals, and cellulose or wood fiber, mixed with water and other additives, on ground surfaces in advance of wild fire, to blanket the ground surfaces from wildfire ignition, and also application over smoldering ambers and ashes to prevent re-ignition while reducing (i) the use of significant amounts of water, (ii) the production of toxic run off water, and (iii) toxic smoke.

The present invention relates to a novel sprinkler device. The device is designed to prevent the spread of wildfires to residential areas. The device comprises a plurality of sprinkler nozzle heads secured to a pole component. Each sprinkler nozzle head comprises a built-in sensor that will detect the presence of a fire, automatically activating the sprinkler nozzle head to extinguish a fire. Further, each sprinkler nozzle head comprises a backup system in case of a power failure, or the sensor fails. Further, the sprinkler heads can comprise a solar-powered battery and a manual power switch.

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. When allowed to dry, the anti-fire chemical liquid provides fire-protection status to sprayed property that is GPS-tracked and mapped within a network database maintained on the wireless communication network, recording wherever the environmentally-safe anti-fire chemical liquid has been spray applied. The system network includes mobile computing systems, each running a mobile application and deployed to a property owner, spray contractor or other stakeholder, such as firefighters and property insurance inspectors, for remotely monitoring the fire-protection status of property in any GPS-specified neighborhood, at any time on any specified date, along with the status of active wild fires surrounding the neighborhood. A command center deployed on the wireless system network transmits wild fire alerts and notifications and property spray orders, and supports microservices configured for monitoring and managing GPS-tracked spraying operations within GPS-specified neighborhoods. Through GPS-managed delivery of anti-fire chemical liquid spray on property surfaces before arrival of wild fire, fire ignition and flame spread are inhibited, and human and animal life and property are protected.

A fire barrier includes an inflatable base deployable from an empty state to a fully inflated state and a first row of panels including a plurality of first panels disposed on the inflatable base. The base supports the plurality of first panels in an upright state when the inflatable base is in the fully inflated state, thereby forming a wall having a front side and a rear side opposing the front side. Each of the plurality of panels is independently elastically bendable with respect to the inflatable base. A coating of an infrared reflective material is disposed on each of the plurality of panels on the front side of the wall.

The system for very early detection and suppression of fires is comprised of the network of low orbiting micro-satellites, local drones, processing and communication equipment and fire suppression capabilities with fire retardants and water delivered by drones, helicopters, planes and/or ground fire crews. Micro-satellites and drones are equipped with very sensitive, high resolution imaging spectrometers operating in multiple visible and infrared wavelengths. Processors are used to analyze spectroscopic micro-satellite images to detect fires and to verify validity of fire detection by analysis of spectroscopic drone images. The system can prevent large wild fires anywhere in the world rapidly with high detection sensitivity and reliability.

A system for dispensing flame retardant foam on the exterior of a structure. The structure has an opening that enables distribution of flame retardant foam onto the roof. The system includes a foam distribution system having a foam expansion chamber and a roof plenum for delivery through the roof opening. Foam solution and compressed air are combined in a conduit and supplied to the foam expansion chamber. The structure may have at least one wall. In that case, the system may have a wall plenum for delivery of flame retardant foam from the foam expansion chamber through a first wall-associated opening. Each such wall will have an opening associated with the wall that enables distribution of flame retardant foam onto that wall.
