Abstract

A wireless wild fire defense system network supporting proactive protection of life and property in GPS-specified neighborhoods using GPS-managed delivery of environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spray to property before wild fire reaches the neighborhoods. The wireless system network includes a GPS system for providing GPS-location services to each system components in the wireless system network. 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.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wireless wild fire defense system network supporting proactive protection of life and property in a neighborhood through GPS-managed delivery of environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spray to property to inhibit fire ignition and flame spread before wild fire reaches the neighborhood, said wireless wild fire defense system network comprising:
a GPS system for providing GPS-location services to each system component in said wireless wild fire defense system network;
a wireless communication network supporting one or more network database servers for access by systems and devices deployed on said wireless communication network;
a fleet of GPS-tracked mobile anti-fire liquid spraying systems, assigned to GPS-specified neighborhoods, for spraying environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid on combustible property, buildings, as well as ground cover in said GPS-specified neighborhoods, so as to inhibit fire ignition and flame spread wherever said environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid is sprayed, and also when allowed to dry, so as to provide fire-protection status to sprayed property that is GPS-tracked and mapped within said one or more network database servers maintained on said wireless communication network, recording where said environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid has been spray applied in said GPS-specified neighborhoods;
a plurality of mobile computing systems, each running a mobile application and deployed to a property owner, spray contractor or other stakeholder, including property insurance inspectors, for remotely monitoring the fire-protection status of property in said GPS-specified neighborhoods at any time on any specified date, as well as the status of active wild fires surrounding said GPS-specified neighborhoods, wherever said wild fires may break out and spread in response to prevailing winds in the vicinity of said GPS-specified neighborhoods; and
a command center, in operable communication with said fleet of GPS-tracked mobile anti-fire liquid spraying systems and said plurality of mobile computing systems, over said wireless communication network, for transmitting wild fire alerts and notifications, and property spray orders, and providing microservices configured for monitoring and managing spraying operations within said GPS-specified neighborhoods, and supporting proactive protection of life and property in said GPS-specified neighborhoods through said GPS-managed delivery of environmentally-clean anti-fire chemical liquid spray to said property to inhibit fire ignition and flame spread in advance of wild fire reaching said GPS-specified neighborhoods.

2. The wireless wild fire defense system network of claim 1 , wherein said fleet of GPS-tracked mobile anti-fire (AF) liquid spraying systems comprises GPS-tracked anti-fire (AF) liquid spraying systems, each being supported on a set of wheels, with an integrated supply tank and a rechargeable-battery operated electric spray pump, for deployment at properties having building structures, for spraying the same with said environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) liquid.

3. The wireless wild fire defense system network of claim 1 , wherein said fleet of GPS-tracked mobile anti-fire (AF) liquid spraying systems comprises GPS-tracked ground-vehicle anti-fire (AF) liquid spraying systems for spraying property and buildings within said GPS-specified neighborhoods.

4. The wireless wild fire defense system network of claim 1 , wherein said fleet of GPS-tracked mobile anti-fire (AF) liquid spraying systems comprises GPS-tracked aircraft-vehicle anti-fire liquid sprayings systems for spraying property and buildings.

5. The wireless wild fire defense system network of claim 1 , wherein said fleet of GPS-tracked mobile anti-fire (AF) liquid spraying systems comprises GPS-tracked backpack anti-fire liquid spraying systems for spraying houses and surrounding properties.

6. The wireless wild fire defense system network of claim 1 , wherein each said GPS-tracked mobile anti-fire (AF) liquid spraying system comprises:
a GPS-tracked AF chemical liquid spraying subsystem; and
a micro-computing platform interfaced with said GPS-tracked AF chemical liquid spraying subsystem, for monitoring the spraying of AF chemical liquid from said GPS-tracked AF chemical liquid spraying subsystem when located at specific GPS-indexed location coordinates, and automatically logging and recording such AF chemical liquid spray application operations within said network database servers deployed on said wireless communication network.

7. The wireless wild fire defense system network of claim 1 , wherein said command center comprises a data center operably connected to said wireless communication network, and including web, application and database servers, and said one or more network database servers for (i) supporting wireless wild-fire alert and notification systems, and (ii) monitoring and managing said fleet of GPS-tracked anti-fire liquid spraying systems.

8. The wireless wild fire defense system network of claim 1 , which supports the proactive delivery of wild fire defense services, including the GPS-managed application of said environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spraying of property in said GPS-specified neighborhoods in advance of wild fire, so that, wherever said environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid spray has been applied, molecules in said applied AF chemical liquid spray clinging onto GPS-specified property reduce the free-radical chemical reactions raging in the combustion phase of said wild fire, and reduce the energy thereof and stall wild fires while moving in the direction of prevailing winds before reaching said GPS-specified neighborhoods containing said property and human and wild life supported therein.

9. The wireless wild fire defense system network of claim 1 , wherein each said GPS-tracked mobile anti-fire (AF) liquid spraying system has an integrated supply tank and rechargeable-battery operated electric spray pump, for deployment at properties within said GPS-specified neighborhoods, for spraying the same with environmentally-clean anti-fire (AF) liquid.

10. The wireless wild fire defense system network of claim 1 , wherein each said GPS-tracked mobile anti-fire liquid spraying system comprises a GPS-tracked and remotely-monitored AF chemical liquid spray control subsystem interfaced with a micro-computing platform for monitoring the spraying of AF chemical liquid from said GPS-tracked mobile anti-fire liquid spraying system when located at specific GPS-indexed location coordinates, and recording and logging the spray application within said one or more network database servers.
