Method of and apparatus for applying fire and smoke inhibiting compositions on ground surfaces before the incidence of wild-fires, and also thereafter, upon smoldering ambers and ashes to reduce smoke and suppress fire re-ignition

A method of making and applying a fire and smoke inhibiting slurry composition on ground surfaces before the incidence of wild-fires, and/or also thereafter, upon smoldering ambers and ashes to reduce smoke and suppress fire re-ignition, said method comprising the steps of:

• (a) blending wood and/or cellulose fibers, and clean fire inhibiting chemical (CFIC) with a supply of water to make up a fire and smoke inhibiting slurry composition;
• (b) mixing the blended fire and smoke inhibiting slurry composition in a mixing tank on a mobile vehicle supporting hydraulic spray equipment;
• (c) hydraulically spraying the mixed fire and smoke inhibiting slurry mixture on a ground surface using said hydraulic spray equipment supported on said mobile spray vehicle, to form a fire and smoke inhibiting slurry coating on said ground surface;
• and
• (d) spraying a CFIC liquid over said fire and smoke inhibiting slurry coating after said fire and smoke inhibiting slurry mixture has been hydraulically sprayed onto said ground surface, to provide further fire and smoke reduction in the presence of a wildfire;
• wherein, once said fire and smoke inhibiting slurry coating has dried, and adheres to said ground surface, said fire and smoke inhibiting slurry coating providing erosion control, and fire protection and smoke reduction in the presence of a wildfire.

A method of proactively protecting real property from wild fire by spraying an environmentally-clean fire and smoke inhibiting slurry composition over real property prior to the arrival of a wild fire, said method comprising the steps of:

• (a) using a GPS-tracked fire and smoke inhibiting slurry spraying system to spray an environmentally-clean fire and smoke inhibiting slurry composition over the exterior surfaces of real property so as to provide fire-protection to the real property in the face before the incidence of an approaching wild fire, so that, wherever said environmentally-clean fire and smoke inhibiting slurry composition has been applied to said real property, molecules in said applied environmentally-clean fire and smoke inhibiting slurry composition reduce the free-radical chemical reactions raging in the combustion phase of said wild fire, and reduce the energy thereof and production of smoke and help stall the wild fire;
• (b) documenting the fire-protection treatment of said real property with said environmentally-clean fire and smoke inhibiting slurry composition, by collecting fire-protection treatment data including captured GPS-coordinates and time/date stamping data generated by a GPS-tracked fire and smoke inhibiting slurry spraying system deployed on a wireless system network supporting a network database for storing, as database records, said fire-protection treatment data documenting the application of said fire-protection treatment to GPS-specified real property;
• (c) wirelessly transmitting said fire-protection spray treatment data to said network database for storage and future access on said wireless system network;
• and
• (d) providing authorized stakeholders access to database records stored in said network database on said wireless system network to verify the fire-protection treatment of GPS-specified real property.
