Abstract: A method of suppressing a wild fire raging towards a target region of land in a direction determined by prevailing winds and other environmental and weather factors. Prior to a wild fire reaching a target region of land, a GPS-guided system is used to apply an anti-fire (AF) chemical liquid mist over a GPS-specified fire break region, in advance of the wild fire and containing molecules that cling onto vegetation and form a fire break region, while providing a non-treated region of sufficient size between the front of the wild fire approaching the target region of land and the fire break region. When the wild fire reaches and moves through the GPS-specified fire break region, the molecules clinging onto the vegetation reduce the free-radical chemical reactions raging in the combustion phase of the wild fire. This reduces the destructive energy of the wild fire, thereby suppressing the wild fire and protecting the GPS-specified target region of land.

Abstract: A wild-fire protected shed structure for installation on a parcel of real property, or within a garage, and having a fire-protected internal storage space for storing and protecting diverse items of personal property during raging wild-fires. The wild-fire protected shed structure has a Class-A fire-protected wood-frame structure constructed from Class-A fire-protected lumber, and having an interior side and an exterior side. Radiant energy insulation is installed on the exterior side of said wood-frame structure, for insulation to radiant energy sources located outside of the wild-fire protective shed structure. Thermal energy insulation is applied to the interior side of the wood frame structure, to provide thermal energy insulation to the interior of the wild-fire protected shed structure to maintain the interior temperature relatively cool, despite extreme temperatures outside while wildfires are circling the wild-fire protected shed structure.

Abstract: A method of producing packaged bundles of Class-A fire-protected lumber for use in wood-framed building construction. The method involved maintaining a dipping tank in a lumber factory, containing a water-based clean fire inhibiting chemical (CFPC) liquid at a depth sufficient to cover pieces of raw lumber while being treated during dip-coating operations. Untreated lumber pieces are submerged into the dipping tank, piece by piece, in an automated manner to coat all surfaces of the lumber pieces in CFIC liquid, and then removed from the dipping tank to produce pieces of Class-A fire-protected lumber having a CFIC liquid coating. The Class-A fire-protected lumber pieces are automatically wet stacked, packaged and wrapped into a packaged bundle, and allowed to dry.
