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. The GPS-tracking anti-fire chemical liquid spraying system is used to spray an environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid over the exterior surfaces of a GPS-specified combustible parcel of property, and generating a GPS-coordinate and time/date stamped data records pertaining to the application of the environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid spray over the exterior surfaces of the GPS-specified combustible parcel of property. The GPS-coordinate and time/date stamped data records are transmitted over the wireless communication network for storage in the network database. A computing system is used to access the GPS-coordinate and time/date stamped data records from the network database, so as to verify that the GPS-specified parcel of property has been fire-protected on particular date by virtue of the GPS-specified property being sprayed with the environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid so as to proactively inhibit fire ignition and flame spread in the presence of wild fire.
