Abstract
A system adapted for installation on a parcel of property and configured for proactively protecting combustible property surfaces against fire ignition and flame spread by forming environmentally-clean thin potassium salt crystalline coatings on the combustible property surfaces prior to the arrival of wildfire. The system includes: a storage tank containing a supply of environmentally-clean fire inhibiting liquid biochemical composition, available for spray application on and over the combustible surfaces of the parcel of property in response to a trigger signal generated before the arrival of a wildfire at the parcel of property, so as to form thin potassium salt crystalline coatings on the combustible surfaces that inhibit fire ignition and flame spread in the presence of fire. The environmentally-clean fire inhibiting liquid biochemical composition includes: a dispersing agent realized in the form of a quantity of water, for dispersing potassium ions dissolved in the water; a fire inhibiting agent realized in the form of potassium citrate, for providing potassium ions dispersed in the water when said potassium citrate is dissolved in the water; and a coalescing agent realized in the form of triethyl citrate, an ester of citric acid, for dispersing and coalescing the potassium ions when the fire inhibiting liquid composition is applied to the combustible surfaces to be protected against fire ignition and flame spread, and while water molecules in the water evaporate during drying, the potassium ions cooperate to form the environmentally-clean thin potassium salt crystalline coatings on the combustible surfaces that proactively protects the combustible surfaces against fire ignition and flame spread, in the presence of fire. Spraying apparatus is arranged in fluid communication with the storage tank, and is responsive to the generation of the trigger signal, for automated spraying of the supply of environmentally-clean fire inhibiting liquid biochemical composition, on and over the combustible surfaces of the parcel of property before the arrival of a wildfire at the parcel of property, so as to form the environmentally-clean thin potassium salt crystalline coatings on the combustible surfaces that inhibit fire ignition and flame spread in the presence of wildfire.
