  • Patent number: 5931233
    Abstract: A two-phase fire suppression/protection method and system for structures and surrounding grounds includes a Phase1 and a Phase2. Phase1 is initiated first when a plurality of parabolic microphone sensors placed at the perimeter of the grounds surrounding the structure detect sound associated with an advancing wildfire. The parabolic microphone sensors provide a first signal to a system control unit which determines if a wildfire is advancing toward the structure. If a wildfire is identified, a filter and pumping system provides chemically treated water necessary to activate a plurality of parabolic volumetric distribution units located on the surrounding grounds. The distribution units generate a dome of high pressure cool air which encapsulates the structures and surrounding grounds for impeding the approach of the wildfire.
