A mobile fire hydrant (MFH) has a substantially planar rectangular base of tubing elements, with an inlet that connects to an ascending portion which has an outlet, generally configured as a fire hydrant outlet. Water or other fire abatement fluid, is pumped from a source to the MFH inlet, which then exits from the outlet in a manner very similar to that of a permanent fire hydrant. A switch mounted on the MFH controls the pump remotely through a pump cable as needed, allowing remote access to water sources at locations beyond 300 feet in distance and 75 in height, depending on pump specifications. This allows ease of water supply for firefighting in remote steep areas with streams or lakes otherwise inaccessible to firefighting equipment.

An apparatus for a bulldozer that makes the process of controlling a wildfire safer and more effective. The apparatus includes a large capacity water tank that can be mounted to a rear of dozer using a frame. A pump can draw water from the water tank and pump the water at a high pressure. One or more hose reels can also be provided. Strategically positioned sprayers can spray water to nearby surrounding, in particular, on the Fireline made by the dozer. A major safety feature is a remote controlled monitor mounted on the front of the dozers can spray water directed by the operator can protect the dozer from fire as well as fire personnel if a fire comes at the dozer or fire personnel.

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.

An apparatus configured to perform a prescribed burn of vegetative ground fuel comprises a movable platform configured to traverse ground that contains the vegetative ground fuel, and a burn chamber disposed on the movable platform. An ignition source is disposed in the burn chamber and configured to ignite vegetative ground fuel within a prescribed burn region of the ground. A containment arrangement is situated relative to the burn chamber and configured to confine burning of the vegetative ground fuel to the prescribed burn region. A discharge apparatus is positioned relative to the burn chamber and configured to expel residual effluent from the burn chamber. An extinguisher system can be included to extinguish residual flames and embers. A smoke filtration system can be included to filter residual effluent expelled from the burn chamber.

The document relates to a method for limiting the spread of a wildfire, comprising: defining a fire limiting boundary (4); positioning a plurality of droplet generating units (1) along the fire limiting boundary (4); connecting said droplet generating units (1) to a liquid source (3); and activating said droplet generating units (1) so that a mist is applied to a border area (41) along said fire limiting boundary (4), said border area (41) having a width, as seen in a direction across the fire limiting boundary, which is 20-200 m, preferably 50-150 m, wherein said actuation of said droplet generating units (1) being initiated before the wildfire (5) is at least 500 m, preferably at least 1000 m, at least 2000 m, at least 5000 m, or at least 10,000 meters, from fire limiting boundary (4). Each droplet generating unit (1) provides a mist throw length (L) of 20-200 m, preferably 20-30 m, 30-40 m, 40-50 m, 50-60 m, 60-70 m, 70-80 m, 80-90 m, 90-100 m, 100-120 m, 120-140 m, 140-160 m or 160-180 m, and each droplet generator (10) operates in an angled position relative to the frame (11) at an angle of 10-60 degrees seen to a horizontal plane, preferably at an angle of 20-50 degrees seen to a horizontal plane.

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.

Provided herein is a fluid projecting platform. In some embodiments, the fluid projecting platform herein is configured for use in firefighting, crowd dispersion, agriculture or other related tasks.

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 intelligent sewage system designed for use in municipalities around the Wildland Urban Interface incorporates a decentralized network of wastewater treatment units to process wastewater from a plurality of parcels. The decentralized wastewater treatment units spread a Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) reduction of the wastewater throughout the system and effluent is delivered efficiently through a pressure sewage system. Non-potable and potable water supplies are generated and delivered to individually separable water distribution zones throughout the municipality. The system also provides an auxiliary high-pressure, high-flow non-potable water supply to compensate during depressurization events and bolster the water distribution zones in the event of a wildfire emergency event. The intelligent sewage system also incorporates a comprehensive wildfire defense network and a supervisory control and data acquisition system which work in concert to harden the municipality against wildfire risks and combat active wildfires.

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.
