Abstract

Claims (11)

1. A system for proactively spraying environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid over the property and ground surfaces in and about a neighborhood of homes, before the arrival of wild fire to make certain that environmentally-safe fire protection zones are created in and about the neighborhood, by the spray application of said environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid so as to defend the homes in the neighborhood from the destructive forces of wild fire, said system comprising:

a GPS-tracked anti-fire (AF) liquid spraying system, having a container of environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid, and being wirelessly connected to a wireless communication network supporting a network database;

said GPS-tracked anti-fire liquid spraying system being configured to spray particular GPS-specified ground surfaces in and around a neighborhood of homes with an said environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid contained in said container, so to form GPS-specified environmentally-clean chemical fire protection zones over said GPS-specified ground surfaces in and around said neighborhood, while generating GPS-coordinate and time/date stamped data records pertaining to the application of said environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid spray during the formation of said environmentally-clean chemical fire protection zones over said GPS-specified ground surfaces in and around said neighborhood;

said GPS-coordinate and time/date stamped data records transmitted over said wireless communication network for storage in said network database; and

a computing system operably connected to said wireless communication network, and configured for access to said GPS-coordinate and time/date stamped data records from said network database, relating to the formation of said GPS-specified environmentally-clean chemical fire protection zones, so as to verify that said GPS-specified environmentally-clean chemical fire protection zones were formed over said GPS-specified ground surfaces on said particular date, to proactively inhibit fire ignition and flame spread when said GPS-specified ground surfaces in and about said neighborhood are exposed to wild fire.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein said computer computing system is a mobile computing system generating and displaying a map of said GPS-specified environmentally-clean chemical fire protection zone about said neighborhood, for review and analysis.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein said mobile computing system generates a historical weather record for said GPS-specified environmentally-clean chemical fire protection zones since the time and date said GPS-specified environmentally-clean chemical fire protection zone was formed.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein if the historical weather record reflects rainfall in excess of a predetermined threshold, then a notification is generated and transmitted to said mobile computing system to reapply said environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid to said GPS-specified environmentally-clean chemical fire protection zones, and then update the maintenance record in said network database.

5. The system of claim 1 , which further comprises, prior to or during the outbreak of a wild fire about a GPS-specified parcel of property in said neighborhood, a fire department officer uses a mobile computing system to access said network database over said wireless communication network, and review said GPS-coordinate and time/date stamped data records maintained in said network database, so as to quickly determine the fire-protection status of said GPS-specified parcel of property and any buildings constructed thereon, and confirm whether or not that said GPS-specified parcel of property has a reduced risk of ignition and flame spread when exposed to the presence of said wild fire.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein said environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid spray has a clinging agent which, when dried on the sprayed ground surfaces of property, enables its chemical molecules to cling to the surface of combustible materials, including vegetation, so that said chemical molecules interfere with the combustion phase of an incident wild fire.

7. The system, of claim 1 , wherein said computing system is used to access said GPS-coordinate and time/date stamped data records from said network database, relating to the formation of said GPS-specified environmentally-clean chemical fire protection zones about said neighborhood, so as to verify that said GPS-specified environmentally-clean chemical fire protection zones were formed at said GPS-specified ground surfaces on said particular date, to proactively inhibit fire ignition and flame spread when exposed to wild fire.
