Special fire protection system for runaway grass and forest fires and method for use

1. A fire protection system for protecting a free-standing structure that is a residential structure, a commercial structure, or a governmental structure from runaway grass and forest fires, wherein the system can be fabricated and later removed after a fire, and comprises:

(a) a heat reflective cover with two side surfaces, wherein at least one of the side surfaces of the heat reflective cover is a reflective surface and the heat reflective cover is configured to fully encase an exterior of the free-standing structure;

(b) at least one hold down strap placed vertically to a ground surface and externally to the heat reflective cover and at least one hold down strap placed horizontally to the ground surface, placed encircling the free-standing structure, and placed externally to the heat reflective cover;

(c) a series of anchors placed into the ground surface, and each anchor of the series of anchors attached to an end of a hold down strap of the at least one hold down strap placed vertically;

(d) a fire-proof spray foam layered between 1.9 inches and 12.1 inches in thickness and with a minimum heat resistivity between 800 degrees Celsius and 1400 degrees Celsius, the fire-proof spray foam fully encasing the heat reflective cover, the at least one hold down strap placed vertically, the at least one hold down strap placed horizontally, the anchors, a set of corner bands, and a seal tape; and

(e) a prodding/push pole to tuck the fire-proof spray foam and the heat reflective cover into a window, a door frame, a soffit, and an under-hang of the free-standing structure;

wherein the system can be individually installed into a position to completely isolate the free-standing structure from an external fire; wherein the heat reflective cover can be manufactured in sizes that can be customized to fit the free-standing structure; and wherein when installed, the system can prevent damage to the free-standing structure and its contents from an external wild fire or firestorm.

2. The fire protection system in claim 1 wherein the two side surfaces of the heat reflective cover are both reflective surfaces.

3. The fire protection system in claim 1 further comprising a pre-spray release coating on an outer surface of the heat reflective cover.

4. The fire protection system in claim 1 further comprising a set of corner bands wherein each corner band of the set is placed at each external corner of the free-standing structure and is sealed with a seal tape.

5. The fire protection system in claim 1 wherein the fire-proof spray foam further comprises a fire-retardant additive.

6. The fire protection system in claim 1 wherein the fire-proof spray foam further comprises a configuration of normally closed cells.

7. The fire protection system in claim 1 wherein the heat reflective cover is selected from a group consisting of a tarp, a roll-out mat, and a fold-out mat.

8. The fire protection system in claim 1 wherein the series of anchors is selected from a group consisting of straight legged stakes, augers, and angle-legged stakes.

9. A fire protection system for protecting a free-standing structure that is a residential structure, a commercial structure, or a governmental structure from runaway grass and forest fires, wherein the system can be fabricated and later removed after a fire, and comprises:

(a) a heat reflective cover with two side surfaces, wherein at least one of the side surfaces of the heat reflective cover is a reflective surface and the heat reflective cover is configured to fully encase an exterior of the free-standing structure;

(b) at least one hold down strap placed vertically to a ground surface and externally to the heat reflective cover and at least one hold down strap placed horizontally to the ground surface and externally to the heat reflective cover;

(c) a series of anchors placed into the ground surface, each anchor of the series of anchors attached to an end of a hold down strap of the at least one hold down strap placed vertically;

(d) a pre-spray release coating;

(e) a set of corner bands wherein each corner band of the set is placed at each external corner of the free-standing structure and is sealed with a seal tape;

(f) a fire-proof spray foam layered between 1.9 inches and 12.1 inches in thickness and with a minimum heat resistivity between 800 degrees Celsius and 1400 degrees Celsius, the fire-proof spray foam fully encasing an exterior of the heat reflective cover, the at least one hold down strap placed vertically, the at least one hold down strap placed horizontally, the anchors, the set of corner bands, and the seal tape; and

(g) a prodding/push pole to tuck the fire-proof spray foam and the heat reflective cover into a window, a doorframe, a soffit, and an under-hang of the free-standing structure;

wherein the system can be individually installed into a position to completely isolate the free-standing structure from an external fire; wherein the heat reflective cover can be manufactured in sizes that can be customized to fit the free-standing structure; and wherein when installed, the system can prevent damage to the free-standing structure and its contents from an external wild fire or firestorm.
