Abstract

An incendiary device, a method of remotely initiating a fire, and a method of making an incendiary device for remotely igniting fires are provided. The method of making an incendiary device includes forming a solid incendiary composition from potassium nitrate, sulfur, and a polymer. The solid incendiary composition is extruded into a continuous extrusion and then cut into sections to form individual incendiary devices. The method of making the incendiary device further includes extruding the incendiary composition with a wire or bore formed there through. The incendiary device produces a predetermined flame pattern when an ignition wire extending there through is ignited. The incendiary device can be dispensed from a remote location into an area for starting a fire.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09 / 729,583, filed Dec. 4, 2000, now pending, and also claims priority to U.S. Patent Provisional Application No. 60 / 169,360, filed Dec. 6, 1999.
