Abstract

A wildfire defense system trailer and method of installing an automated sprinkler-based wildfire defense system on a home construction site before the starting of the construction phase of a home building project in a wildfire urban interface (WUI) region. The first commissioned automated sprinkler-based wildfire defense system will continue in operation all during the home building construction phase, and will only be decommissioned from operation, and removed from the premises (including the job-site wildfire defense system trailer being removed from the property) when construction of the wood home building project is totally completed, and the wood home building is ready for occupation. At the same time when the first system is decommissioned, a second permanently-installed automated sprinkler-based wildfire defense system will be completely installed within the new home construction, independent from the first system, and ready for commissioning to provide a new proactive measure of defense against a wildfire storm occurring after home building construction has been completed, thereby protecting all wood and combustible surfaces on the home and surrounding property, and preventing fire ignition and flame spread until the wildfire storm passes through the WUI region. By virtue of the present invention, it is now possible to significantly reduce the risk of wood home building construction projects occurring within a wildfire urban interface (WUI) region, and better support the underwriting of home construction and ownership insurance policies within such regions.

Abstract

A wildfire defense spraying process for spraying and protecting property and combustible surfaces with an environmentally-clean water-based liquid fire inhibitor that inhibits fire ignition and flame spread caused by hot flying wildfire embers created during a wildfire storm. The wildfire defense spraying process involves maintaining a storage tank containing a supply of environmentally-clean water-based liquid fire inhibitor comprising a major amount of tripotassium citrate (TPC) and minor amount of triethyl citrate (TEC) dissolved in a major amount of water according to a prespecified formulation, wherein the environmentally-clean water-based liquid fire inhibitor remains stable without the formation of solids at expected operating temperatures, and ready for immediate spraying on combustible property. When a spraying-trigger signal is received by an automated wildfire detection system, a mobile phone or other intelligent source, an electric-powered hydraulic pump system is automatically energized and pumps environmentally-clean water-based liquid fire inhibitor from the storage tank through piping, under pressure, to spray heads mounted about the property, to produce a spray pattern of environmentally-clean water-based liquid fire inhibitor that covers all the property and combustible surfaces to be defended against wildfire. When the hydraulic pump system completes its pumping operations, the hydraulic pump system automatically shuts off. As water molecules in the sprayed environmentally-clean water-based liquid fire inhibitor evaporates to the environment, thin fire-inhibiting potassium salt crystalline coatings form on the sprayed combustible surfaces, inhibiting fire ignition and flame spread in the presence of wildfire embers.

A wireless communication network supports one or more network databases accessible by systems and devices deployed on the wireless communication network. A fleet of mobile GPS-tracked anti-fire liquid spraying systems are assigned to GPS-specified neighborhoods for spraying anti-fire chemical liquid on combustible property, buildings, and ground cover to inhibit fire ignition and flame spread wherever the anti-fire chemical liquid is sprayed. When allowed to dry, the anti-fire chemical liquid provides fire-protection status to sprayed property that is GPS-tracked and mapped within a network database maintained on the wireless communication network, recording wherever the environmentally-safe anti-fire chemical liquid has been spray applied. The system network includes mobile computing systems, each running a mobile application and deployed to a property owner, spray contractor or other stakeholder, such as firefighters and property insurance inspectors, for remotely monitoring the fire-protection status of property in any GPS-specified neighborhood, at any time on any specified date, along with the status of active wild fires surrounding the neighborhood. A command center deployed on the wireless system network transmits wild fire alerts and notifications and property spray orders, and supports microservices configured for monitoring and managing GPS-tracked spraying operations within GPS-specified neighborhoods. Through GPS-managed delivery of anti-fire chemical liquid spray on property surfaces before arrival of wild fire, fire ignition and flame spread are inhibited, and human and animal life and property are protected.

Abstract

A wild fire defense system network for proactively defending homes and properties from wild fires. A GPS system provides GPS-location services to each system component in the wild fire defense system network, supported by a wireless communication network. First and second group of wireless GPS-tracked anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spraying systems are provided. The first group of wireless GPS-tracked chemical liquid spraying systems are assigned to homes and/or buildings in strategic areas of a specified region, for spraying the outside of homes and surrounding ground cover with environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid, to proactively protect the homes and surrounding ground cover from wild fire. The second group of GPS-tracked chemical liquid spraying systems are assigned to operators in the strategic area for spraying GPS-specified ground cover with anti-fire chemical liquid to create strategic clean-chemistry fire breaks that proactively protect GPS-specified property cover from wild fire. First and second groups of wireless mobile computing systems are deployed with mobile applications installed and configured for receiving messages and instructions from a command center operably connected to the wireless communication network. The command center sends instructions to home owners and/or specified contractors to apply environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid to GPS-specified homes and surrounding areas. The command center also sends instructions to operators to apply environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid to GPS-specified regions to create and/or maintain strategic chemical fire breaks in the region. By virtue of the present invention, the wild fire defense system network is capable of proactively defending homes and properties against wild fire, prior to arrival, by spraying homes and property with environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid using wireless GPS-tracked spraying chemical liquid systems.

Abstract

A method of forming and maintaining GPS tracked and mapped environmentally-clean chemical-based firebreaks and fire protection zones on, over and/or about property surfaces that proactively inhibit fire ignition and flame spread when exposed to wild fire. The method involves wirelessly connecting a GPS-tracking anti-fire (AF) liquid spraying system to a wireless communication network supporting a network database. The GPS-tracking anti-fire liquid spraying system is used to spray particular GPS-specified ground surfaces with an environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid so to form an environmentally-clean chemical firebreak over the GPS-specified property surfaces, while generating GPS-coordinate and time/date stamped data records pertaining to the application of the environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid spray during the formation of the environmentally-clean chemical firebreak or fire protection zone. The GPS-coordinate and time/date stamped data records are transmitted over the wireless communication network for storage in the network database. A mobile computing system is used to access the GPS-coordinate and time/date stamped data records from the network database, relating to the formation of the GPS-specified environmentally-clean chemical firebreak or fire protection zone, so as to verify that the GPS-specified environmentally-clean chemical firebreak was formed at the GPS-specified property surfaces on the particular date, to proactively inhibit fire ignition and flame spread when exposed to wild fire.

Abstract

A method of protecting life, property, homes and businesses from wild fire by applying environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) liquid spray using a wireless system network supported by GPS-tracking techniques. Intelligence is collected and GPS-specified maps and reports are generated on the wireless system network informing when environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid should be spray applied to GPS-specified property parcels, prior to the arrival of wild fires, using GPS-tracking AF chemical liquid spraying systems. The preferred clean anti-fire chemical liquid does not depend on water to inhibit the ignition of fire and flame spread, so that, even after a month or two after spray application on buildings and dry brush around homes and the neighborhood, the clean anti-fire chemical continues to work by inhibiting fire ignition and flame spread, and the ability of a wild fire to advance and consume property and homes.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

In a lumber factory, an automated laminated veneer lumber (LVL) process supported by a lumber production line employing a cross-cutting and rip-sawing stage, a dip-coating stage, a spray-coating stage, a print-marking stage, and a stacking, packaging and wrapping stage. At the dip-coating stage, cross-cut and rip-sawed LVL product is automatically transported and submerged through a dipping reservoir containing clean fire inhibiting chemical (CFIC) liquid, and then wet-stacked and set aside to dry. Once dried, the dip-coated LVL products are returned to the production line and sprayed coated with a moisture, fire and UV protective coating at the spray-coating stage, and then passed through a drying tunnel for quick drying of the spray-coating to produce Class-A fire-protected LVL products. The Class-A fire-protected LVL products are stacked, packaged and wrapped at the stacking, packaging and wrapping stage into a package of Class-A fire-protected LVL products, ready for shipping.
