Abstract:
A wildfire suppression system is shown that includes a detector that can identify a wildfire threat from an approaching wildfire. When a wildfire is detected, a fire suppression system is activated to pump a fire retardant product, such as water or foam, through a fire retardant distribution system to supply the fire retardant to a series of water dispersion devices that are positioned to protect a structure and a set of landscape elements such as trees, flowers, bushes, and shrubs. Various embodiments can include a fixed based non mobile wildfire suppression system having automatic notification to local fire and police authorities of the presence of the wildfire, and can also include local electrical power generating units that can provide the electrical power needed to operate and control the wildfire suppression system.

Claim (Index 15):
A process of suppressing a wildfire comprising the step of:\n installing a wildfire suppression system wherein the wildfire suppression system and its components are a non-mobile and fixed based system; detecting at least one of either smoke, temperature, or flame within the geographic region of an area to be protected from a wildfire; generating an alarm signal from a detection sensor that detects at least one of either smoke, temperature, or flame within the geographic region of an area to be protected from a wildfire; communicating the alarm signal to a computer based control and operation system; communicating a signal to instruct a fire retardant dispersion system to take actions to attempt to suppress the wildfire when the wildfire is near enough to the area to protected such that the wildfire may damage elements of the area to be protected unless the wildfire is suppressed, wherein the wildfire retardant dispersion system includes a pump, a fixed base non-mobile fire retardant dispersal device operatively connected to a computer controlled retardant pressure control to adjust a range that a fire retardant is to be dispersed and a computer controlled horizontal control to rotate the fire retardant dispersal device as much as a full 360 degrees around an axis vertical to the horizon and as much as 90 degrees vertically from the horizon to any horizontal direction or any vertical direction in which the fire retardant is to be substantially continuously dispersed within that hemispherical scope of dispersion, wherein the fire retardant dispersal device is not mounted on a mobile device having an on board reservoir that contains a supply of the fire retardant product to be dispersed by the fire retardant dispersion device; a set of components for operating and controlling the components of the fire retardant dispersion system; dispersing of a fire retardant product by the fire retardant system to attempt to suppress the wildfire; and utilizing power from an electrical power distribution and communication system to supply electrical power, data communications, and instructions to the components of the wildfire suppression system.
