A fire control enclosure with a telescoping rigid structural frame assembly, flame retardant fabric, a plurality of wheels and a plurality of smoke exhaust outlet pipes. The telescoping frame is capable of forming an elongate structure capable of controlling a fire that is set to create a fire break between two areas having ignitable material. Exhaust pipes are attached to the top of the structure to let smoke out. Metal wheels at the bottom of the structure allow it to be rolled into place. The fire control enclosure can alternatively be used to extinguish a fire with closed exhaust pipes.

A fire suppression system encompassing a plurality of tubes, buried approximately vertically in the ground, each tube having at least one upper end in open contact with the atmosphere, and a lower end in contact with an underground chamber containing an electron-donating substance, wherein the upper end of the tubes has functionally associated therewith a suction system which sucks air from the local atmosphere into the tubes, and wherein the electron-donating substance reacts with atmospheric oxygen in the air to reduce it and convert it to a form that does not support combustion.

A method of and 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 surfaces including ground surfaces in advance of wild fire, to blanket grounds 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.

A wireless system network for managing GPS-tracked stationary spraying systems and GPS-tracking mobile spraying systems deployed on a wireless communication network for supporting the defense of property against wildfires. Each GPS-tracking spraying system includes an electronic circuit or device for (i) automatically tracking the spraying of property with environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) liquid contained in a storage tank, (ii) automatically monitoring the level of environmentally-clean anti-fire liquid in the storage tank, and (iii) generating and transmitting electronic signals to a remote center so that a service can automatically replenish the storage tank of the GPS-tracking spraying system when the level of environmentally-clean anti-fire liquid falls below a predetermined level in the storage tank. This ensures the systems are ready to spray environmentally-clean anti-fire liquid on property before the incidence of wildfire in a proactive manner.

Provided is a foamed dust composition and a method of using the foamed dust composition. The foamed dust composition contains an aqueous foam comprising a foaming agent, a foam stabilizer, water, and a rock dust. The foamed dust composition is sprayed onto coal mine surfaces to prevent coal dust explosion in the event of a fire.

An example mitigation device includes a spine having a first support and a second support, the first support and the second support are substantially rectangular with semicircular ends. A plurality of linear tines sandwiched between the first support and the second support and extending in two opposite directions from the spine. A socket on the spine to receive a handle. In an example, each of the tines extend about one-third the length of the tine on a first side of the spine, and each of the tines extend about two-thirds the length of the tine on a second side of the spine. In an example, the tines are substantially perpendicular to the socket and the handle and configured to support the handle in a substantially upright position perpendicular to the ground when the tines are laid substantially flat on the ground.

A method of and apparatus for making and applying 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 surfaces including ground surfaces in advance of wild fire, to blanket grounds 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 flame-retardants of this invention were formed by the direct reaction of ethyleneamines and commercial polyphosphoric acid at an elevated temperature. It was unexpected that a high temperature had to be used to overcome reaction barrier to formation. These compounds are found to be efficient flame retardants.

A machine for extinguishing fires, using materials that are excavated and thrown directly from the ground includes a brush cutting module with knives and lateral panels, an excavating module comprising a cutter with spikes, and a throwing module formed by a flywheel mounted on a rotary shaft and provided with radial blades, allowing the excavated material to be thrown through openings in the throwing module. The position of the openings can be adjusted and the excavated materials can be thrown in one direction or another.
