## Abstract

A method for fire and smoke prevention, suppression or extinction using a composition having sodium polyacrylate and distilled water, wherein the ratio of sodium polyacrylate to distilled water is about 1 to 200, having the step of placing the composition in the path of the fire or smoke.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for fire and smoke prevention, suppression or extinction using a composition comprising sodium polyacrylate and distilled water, wherein the ratio of sodium polyacrylate to distilled water is about 1 to 200, comprising placing the composition in the path of the fire or smoke.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the composition is a gel with substantially no air pockets.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, wherein the path of the fire or smoke comprises all gaps between a door and a floor and between the door and the door's side and top jambs, such that an airtight seal is created therein.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein the composition further comprises a dye, such that the composition is colored, and thus easily spotted by firefighters.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the composition further comprises a flow agent, such that the composition is liquid.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein placing the composition in the path of the fire or smoke comprises spraying the composition onto the fire.
