Automated structure and curtilage protection system and associated methods

An automated structure and curtilage protection system comprising

• a mechanical system hub comprising
• a control center,
• a pump,
• a pressure tank,
• a plurality of automated valves, and
• a chemical injector assembly;
• a piped network comprising
• the plurality of automated valves configured to create a first track operable to autonomously deliver only water to a structure's roof, eaves and curtilage;
• and
• the plurality of automated valves configured to create a second track operable to autonomously deliver only chemically infused water solely to the curtilage;
• a plurality of spray nozzles;
• and
• a remote user control portal, wherein the remote user control portal is configured to calculate a hazard distance by averaging a plurality of known data positioning points of a hazard relative to a structure, categorize the calculated hazard distance into a categorized threat level within a hierarchy of preprogrammed threat levels and actuate the mechanical system hub based on an instruction set corresponding to the categorized threat level within the hierarchy of preprogrammed threat levels;
• wherein the automated structure and curtilage protection system is configured to take system action depending on the hierarchy of preprogrammed threat levels;
• wherein the automated structure and curtilage protection system is configured to autonomously deliver water at set time intervals onto the structure and curtilage when instruction sets corresponding to at least a first set of categorized threat levels of the hierarchy of preprogrammed threat levels have been activated;
• wherein the automated structure and curtilage protection system is configured to autonomously deliver chemically infused water solely to the curtilage for a set time interval when instruction sets corresponding to at least one categorized threat level of the hierarchy of preprogrammed thread levels that is not in the first set of categorized threat levels have been activated;
• and
• wherein the control center and the remote user control portal are configured to manually override any instruction sets preprogrammed into the automated structure and curtilage protection system.
