Method of proactively protecting property from wild fire by spraying environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid on property surfaces prior to wild fire arrival using remote sensing and GPS-tracking and mapping enabled spraying
A method of proactively protecting property and buildings constructed thereon from wild fire by spraying environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid prior to the arrival of wild fires. Intelligence data is remotely collected relating to risks of wild fires in specified regions, and maintained in a network database, and used to generate anti-fire (AF) spray protection maps and task reports for execution in the specified region. Prior to the arrival of a wild fire to the region, and based on the GPS-specified anti-fire (AF) spray protection maps and task reports, application servers deployed on a wireless system network issue a request or order to the property owner, or its registered contractor, to apply clean AF chemical liquid spray on the GPS-specified parcel of property using a GPS-specified AF chemical liquid spraying system, so as to proactively protect the property prior to presence of wild fire.
1. A method of remotely managing the application of anti-fire (AF) liquid spray to ground surfaces and buildings so as to reduce the risks of fire ignition and damage due to wild fires, said method comprising the step of:
(a) registering with a network database system connected to a wireless system network, a GPS-specified parcel of property in a specified region, which may or may not have buildings constructed thereon;
(b) collecting intelligence data relating to risks of wild fires in said specified region and surrounding regions, and maintaining said intelligence data in said network database system, and using said collected intelligence data to generate anti-fire (AF) spray protection maps and task reports for execution in said specified region;
(c) providing a GPS-tracking AF chemical liquid spraying system to said specified location for spraying the GPS-specified parcel of property with clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid;
(d) providing a supply of clean AF chemical liquid to said GPS-tracking AF chemical liquid spraying system;
(e) filling said GPS-tracking AF chemical liquid spraying system with said supply of clean AF chemical liquid;
(f) prior to the arrival of a wild fire to the specified region, and based on said generated GPS-specified anti-fire (AF) spray protection maps and task reports, application servers deployed on said wireless system network issuing a request to the property owner, or its registered contractor, to apply said clean AF chemical liquid spray on said GPS-specified parcel of property using said GPS-specified AF chemical liquid spraying system;
(g) in response to the issued request, using said GPS-tracking AF chemical liquid spraying system to apply clean AF chemical liquid spray to said GPS-specified parcel of property, and remotely monitoring the application of the clean AF chemical liquid on said GPS-specified parcel of property on a given date and time, and automatically recording the clean AF chemical liquid spraying transaction in said network database system; and
(h) updating data records in said network database system associated with each application of clean AF chemical liquid sprayed on said GPS-specified parcel of property.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein step (b) comprises using remote imaging systems to collect intelligence about wild fire ignition risks and generate reports to for transmission to said mobile computing systems.
3. The method of claim 2 wherein step (b) comprises using said remote imaging systems, including multi-spectral imaging (MSI) systems and/or hyper-spectral-imaging (HSI) systems, for remotely data sensing and gathering data about wild fires and progress.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein step (b) comprises using said MSI and HSI systems supported aboard space/satellite-based and/or drone-based airborne vehicles remotely-controlled by a human operator, or guided under an automated navigation system.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein step (b) comprises capturing a series of MSI images and HSI images during a wild fire, and mapping said MSI and HSI images to GPS-specific coordinates, and transmitting said mapped image data back to said network database system for storage, analysis and generation of GPS-specified flight plans for anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spray operations, seeking to stall and suppress said wild fires, and mitigate risk of damage to property and harm to life.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein step (b) comprises using said remote sensing technologies including a MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro- radiometer) satellite system for generating MODIS imagery subsets from MODIS direct readout data acquired to produce satellite fire detection data maps.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein step (b) comprises using remote data sensing and capture instruments, tools and technologies that are integrated into and used by said command center for the purpose of (i) determining GPS-specified flight/navigation plans for said GPS-tracked anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spraying systems, and (ii) practicing GPS- guided methods of wild fire defense.
