Expandable fire fence with additional safety features

A fire protective barrier for surrounding a campfire or bonfire, comprising:

• a first plurality of parallel right-inclining slats;
• a second plurality of parallel left-inclining slats positioned diagonally opposite the first plurality of slats and forming a retractable lattice structure therewith;
• a plurality of fasteners pivotably connecting the first plurality of slats to the second plurality of slats at the lattice intersection points between the first and second plurality of slats;
• wherein the barrier is repositionable between a freestanding fully-deployed expanded position and a retracted position via pivoting of the slats about the fasteners;
• wherein the first plurality of slats are diagonally opposed to the second plurality of slats and the first and the second plurality of slats form a plurality of continuous openings in the barrier when the barrier is in the freestanding fully-deployed expanded position;
• and
• wherein each of the first plurality of slats are substantially parallel to each of the second plurality of slats when the barrier is in the retracted position;
• a temperature sensor disposed on one of the slats configured to detect the campfire or bonfire temperature;
• a motion sensor disposed on one of the slats configured to detect if the fire protective barrier has been moved or repositioned;
• a speaker disposed on one of the slats configured to sound an alarm when the sensors detect that the barrier has been moved or repositioned;
• a wireless communication module in wireless communication with a mobile application installed on a remote electronic device;
• and
• a solar powered rechargeable battery for powering the sensors, the speaker and the wireless communication module;
• wherein the motion sensor is configured to communicate an alert to the speaker and the wireless communication module that the barrier has been moved or repositioned.
