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.

A system and methods are provided for community outdoor fire protection comprising: receiving indicators of a current fire, and responsively determining a level of the current fire risk for each of multiple endpoints of a shared water supply; determining a relative duty cycle for operating each endpoint according to a fire risk; receiving a water pressure measurement of the shared water source and determining a maximum number of concurrent endpoints to operate; accordingly allocating operation of each endpoint to a set of time slots; and activating the multiple endpoints to turn on respective water flows according to the time slot allocation.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating a temporal range of a fire. In some implementations, a server obtains a date when a fire occurred within a region. The server obtains satellite imagery of the region from before the date when the fire occurred. The server generates a first statistical distribution from the satellite imagery. The server determines a start date of the fire using the first statistical distribution. The server obtains second satellite imagery of the region from before and after the start date. The server selects a second set of imagery from the second satellite imagery from before the start date. The server generates a second statistical distribution from the second set of imagery. The server determines an end date of the fire using the second statistical distribution. The server provides the start date and the end date for output.

A wildfire suppression assembly for inhibiting the development of wildfires includes a tower that is located in a remote location and an arm that is pivotally coupled to the tower. A pump is integrated into the tower and the pump is fluidly coupled to a supply pipe to receive water from a below ground water supply. A spray pipe is coupled to the arm and the spray pipe is in fluid communication with the supply pipe to receive the water urged by the pump when the pump is turned on. A spray nozzle is fluidly coupled to the spray pipe to spray the water onto the remote location. In this way the spray nozzle inhibits the development of wildfires by keeping the moisture content of the remote location above a wildfire threshold.

The present invention relates to: a smart fire-extinguishing device for automatically performing a fire-extinguishing operation by detecting the outbreak of a fire; and a smart fire-extinguishing system including same, and provides a smart fire-extinguishing device comprising: a chemical storage part in which fire-extinguishing chemicals are filled; a fuse part for exhibiting explosive force so that the fire-extinguishing chemicals of the chemical storage part are jetted to the outside; and a fire detection part, which detects at least one from among temperature, flames and smoke, compares a detection result with a pre-set fire outbreak reference value so as to determine whether a fire breaks out, and operates the fuse part according to a determination result so as to jet out the fire-extinguishing chemicals.

An illustrated view of an exemplary fire fountain for preventing a home from perishing during a fire is presented. The fire fountain is useful for providing protection for rural homes and during forest fires for rural homes that are in danger of being emblazed in a fire before firefighters can provide assistance at the home. Also, the fire fountain is useful for providing peace of mind to the rural homeowner. The fire fountain is cost effective and cost efficient while being in a constant state of readiness. The fire fountain is useful for reducing a chance of a fire and therefore saves lives and property which in turn can reduce insurance costs.

A fire retardant delivery system for use with a source of carrier for protection from wildfire is provided. The system includes a retardant tank for storing a fire retardant. The retardant tank is in fluid communication with the source of carrier. A metering valve is constructed and arranged to meter a flow of fire retardant injected into the carrier discharged from the source of carrier to maintain a predetermined proportion of fire retardant to carrier, thereby creating a fire retardant and carrier mixture. At least one distribution nozzle is configured to deliver the fire retardant and carrier mixture to a desired area.

A method and system for determining the rate of growth of a wildfire.

A firefighting apparatus can include a system that applies a fire retardant material to provide a temporary fireproof and/or fire retardant coating to vegetation, structures and/or flammable materials. The apparatus can include a high capacity tank with an integral, internal agitator to mix liquid therein with a fire retardant polymer, such as a superabsorbent polymer, to produce a fire retardant coating material. The apparatus can include an upper deck to store bales of polymer and an access panel to load bales into the tank for continuous production of the coating material. Primary and secondary pumps can selectively pump the coating material in stationary and/or moving modes. The apparatus can be NFPA 1901 compliant, and can operate as a fire truck or vehicle. Optionally, the system can include a venturi to mix the polymer with liquid to produce the coating material. Related methods of use are provided.

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.
