     I, Raoul L. Carroll, certify that:

     1.  I  have  reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of American Fire
Retardant  Corp.;

     2. Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue
statement  of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make
the  statements  made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
were  made,  not misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly
report;

     3.  Based  on  my  knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information  included  in  this quarterly report, fairly present in all material
respects  the  financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of the
registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report;

     4.  The  registrant's  other  certifying officers and I are responsible for
establishing  and  maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and have:

          (a)     designed  such  disclosure  controls  and procedures to ensure
that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated
subsidiaries,  is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
during the period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;

          (b)     evaluated  the  effectiveness  of  the registrant's disclosure
controls  and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of
this  quarterly  report  (the  "Evaluation  Date");  and

          (c)     presented  in  this quarterly report our conclusions about the
effectiveness  of the disclosure controls and procedures based on our evaluation
as  of  the  Evaluation  Date;

     5.  The  registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based
on  our  most  recent  evaluation,  to  the  registrant's auditors and the audit
committee  of  the  registrant's  board  of directors (or persons performing the
equivalent  functions):

          (a)     all  significant  deficiencies  in  the design or operation of
internal  controls  which  could  adversely  affect  the registrant's ability to
record,  process,  summarize,  and report financial data and have identified for
the  registrant's  auditors  any  material  weaknesses in internal controls; and

          (b)     any  fraud,  whether or not material, that involves management
or  other  employees  who  have  a significant role in the registrant's internal
controls;  and

     6.  The registrant's other certifying officers and I have indicated in this
quarterly  report  whether  or  not  there  were significant changes in internal
controls  or  in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls
subsequent  to  the date of our most recent evaluation, including any corrective
actions  with  regard  to  significant  deficiencies  and  material  weaknesses.
