New technique for fire fighting-large scale open fires

摘要

An invention is presented that will usher in a new and markedly improved era of open, large scale fire fighting. ‘The Invention’ places a CAFS (compressed air foam system) into the fuselage of a helicopter or fixed-wing plane. The CAFS then generates high volumes of effective fire-extinguishing and preventive micellar-foam solution at the attack point of the fire itself rather than refilling at a remote base. It accesses ater contained in a helicopter's Bambi Bucket and refills from a fixed wing plane or other water containing reservoir. The foam solution is then packaged into balloons, made of fire retardant and bio-friendly material, that are accurately and rapidly dropped upon the target fire.;‘The Invention” therefore utilizes and adapts currently available equipment, personnel, and fire-fighting technology to allow a simple, rapid, effective and drastically cost-saving means of extinguishing open fires. All communities and businesses will be able to protect their communities and environment and the lives of their animals and citizens.
