Organic fire extinguishing system

Abstract

The aim of fighting Class A fires (in the form of embers) is to prevent the fire from spreading to the surrounding area, to control the rate of combustion, and to prevent damage to materials such as living beings, objects, buildings, etc., within the fire zone. An organic fire extinguishing system that prevents damage to materials is characterized by: - ​​at least one substance that prevents the fire from spreading to the surrounding area and reduces the rate of combustion by separating the flame from oxygen; - water, which renders the aforementioned substance non-combustible for an extended period through wetting and moisture transport; - at least one delivery device that allows the substance, which absorbs moisture through wetting with water, to be sprayed into the fire zone.

Description

Technical area The invention relates to an organic fire extinguishing system which, when fighting Class A fires (smoldering fires), prevents the spread of fire to the surrounding area, prevents the spread of fire by controlling the speed of fire and prevents damage to living beings, objects, buildings, etc. in the fire area. More particularly, the invention relates to an organic fire extinguishing system which prevents the spread of fire to the surrounding environment by increasing the humidity of the cotton fabric during forest fires by supplying water and preventing the spread of fire by controlling the rate of fire. Known state of the art A forest fire is the partial or complete burning of forests by fire, which can be caused by both natural and human-induced causes. There are natural fires such as lightning, volcanic eruptions, and high temperatures, as well as human-caused fires caused by smoke, agricultural products, etc. Forest burning causes considerable ecological damage. Climate change and drought are the main consequences. Forest fires, which have increased in recent years, cause severe damage to trees, vegetation, and many forest organisms. The number of fires is increasing significantly due to meteorological and climatic conditions, such as increasing atmospheric instability, rising temperatures, increasing drought, and persistent heat waves as a result of global warming. Forest fires therefore have many negative impacts, including the deterioration of ecological balance. Forest fires are natural disasters that pose a major threat to the environment, nature, and human life. Rapid intervention from the moment a fire breaks out is required. However, these fires tend to spread rapidly under the influence of wind and heat. The resulting high temperatures make firefighting more difficult and increase the life-threatening situation for emergency responders. On the other hand, the rapid spread of the fire makes it difficult to extinguish it promptly. Forest fires are responsible for the destruction of millions of square meters of forest worldwide due to lack of timely intervention. These fires not only destroy forests but also many species of living creatures, and many people lose their lives or are seriously injured during firefighting efforts. Settlements near these areas are often also severely damaged. At the same time, responding to fires in facilities where chemicals, explosives and highly flammable substances are stored and processed, as described above, is very difficult, and the results are roughly the same. In Class A fires, the combustible materials are in solid form, and the combustible materials are in the form of wood, textiles, paper, etc. Today, the extinguishing methods used for such fires are cooling and preventing combustion, and the fire extinguishers used for these methods are selected from water, powder, and foam extinguishers. In this case, environmental pollution cannot be prevented even if the fire is extinguished with chemicals. Breaking the connection between flame and oxygen is crucial for extinguishing fires. In fires, the use of water alone is not sufficient to cut off oxygen. The use of environmentally friendly materials that decompose naturally with water should be ensured to interrupt the oxygen supply. Although the existing technology has been improved, it is necessary to develop an organic fire extinguishing system that prevents the spread of fire to the surrounding environment by increasing the moisture content of the cotton fabric by adding water and preventing the spread of fire by controlling the burning rate. US patent application publication number US2009194297A1 was examined in the context of the present invention. The present invention relates to the use of tarpaulins comprising at least one reflective metal sheet for protection and thermal insulation, together with at least one fabric or felt made of artificial mineral fibers, metal fabric, and / or mineral fabric or felt, for fighting wildfires and prescribed fires and for protecting people and property. However, this invention does not mention an organic fire extinguishing system that prevents the spread of fire by increasing the moisture content of the cotton fabric by adding water and inhibits the rate of fire by interrupting the oxygen connection with the flame. Turkish patent application publication number TR 2021 010082 was examined within the scope of the present technology. The present invention relates to a fire extinguishing bomb made of a polymer matrix composite material for use in cases where water is insufficient to fight forest fires, for initial intervention at the fire scene to prevent the fire from spreading until the firefighting crew reaches the scene, for cases where it is difficult for land-based responders to reach the scene, and for fires that have different properties depending on the combustible materials they contain. However, the invention does not mention an organic fire extinguishing system that prevents the fire from spreading by increasing the humidity of the cotton fabric by supplying water and preventing the fire rate by interrupting the oxygen connection with the flame. Due to the above-mentioned disadvantages and inadequacies of the existing solutions, it has become necessary to develop the corresponding technical area. Purpose of the invention The main objective of the invention is to provide an organic fire extinguishing system that prevents the spread of fire to the surrounding area when fighting Class A fires (forest fires, land fires, factory fires, etc.). Another important object of the invention is to provide an organic fire extinguishing system that makes it possible to reduce the speed of fire in Class A fires (forest fires, land fires, factory fires, etc.). Another important object of the invention is to provide an organic fire extinguishing system that makes it possible to interrupt the contact of the flame with oxygen by smothering the fire in a Class A fire (forest fires, land fires, factory fires, etc.). Another important object of the invention is to provide an organic fire extinguishing system that prevents the deterioration, wear and tear of materials such as living beings, goods, buildings, etc. in the surrounding area when they are brought into the fire area during a Class A fire (forest fires, land fires, factory fires, etc.). A further objective of the invention is to provide an organic fire extinguishing system for extinguishing Class A fires (forest fires, land fires, factory fires, etc.) that allows the extinguishing process to be carried out entirely without organic chemical additives. Eliminating the use of chemicals increases the sustainability of our forests and ensures nature conservation. Another object of the invention is to provide an organic fire extinguishing system that can avoid overloads and save working days when extinguishing Class A fires (forest fires, land fires, factory fires, etc.). Another object of the invention is to provide an organic fire extinguishing system that saves water by preventing the use of excess water when extinguishing Class A fires (forest fires, land fires, etc.). Another object of the invention is to provide an organic fire extinguishing system that prevents property damage in Class A fires (forest fires, land fires, factory fires, etc.). Another object of the invention is to provide an organic fire extinguishing system that minimizes environmental pollution by avoiding the use of substances that do not degrade naturally after Class A fires (forest fires, land fires, factory fires, etc.). Another object of the invention is to provide an organic fire extinguishing system that reduces the rate of spread of Class A fires (forest fires, land fires, factory fires, etc.) and ensures that fires are brought under control in a short time. To achieve the above objectives, this is an organic fire extinguishing system which, when fighting Class A fires (smoldering fires), prevents the spread of fire to the surrounding area, inhibits the spread of fire by controlling the rate of fire, and prevents damage to materials such as living beings, objects, buildings, etc. in the fire area. It must contain the following: - at least one substance which prevents the spread of fire to the surrounding area by separating the flame from oxygen and reducing the rate of combustion; - water which renders the said substance non-combustible for an extended period by wetting and transporting moisture; - at least one transfer device which allows the substance, which absorbs moisture through wetting with water, to be sprayed into the fire area; Detailed description of the invention In this detailed description, the preferred embodiments of the invented fire extinguishing system are described only for a better understanding of the subject matter and are not limiting in nature. The invented organic fire extinguishing system consists of a cotton fabric that prevents the spread of fire to the surrounding area and reduces the burning rate. The fabric is coated with a coating material made of potato and corn starch, known as a sizing agent. This increases the water retention capacity of the cotton fabric and prevents the risk of ignition due to prolonged moisture retention. When the fabric, with its increased water binding capacity, falls onto the flame, it extinguishes the flame by interrupting the flame's connection to oxygen. Since the fabric in question contains no chemicals or additives, when introduced into the fire area, it prevents the decay, wear, and damage of surrounding materials such as living beings, objects, buildings, etc. Extinguishing agents such as sand, foam, etc., used in existing methods, cause irreversible damage to the area where they are introduced. To prevent this damage, a completely organic cotton-based fabric is used. The substance in question is applied in square or elliptical pieces measuring 0.1 mm - 5 mm and transferred to the area to be extinguished. Shredding the substance in this way ensures that the substance can be easily and quickly spread throughout the fire. This spread helps bring the flame under control. The invented organic fire extinguishing system contains water, which makes the fabric wet and moist and non-flammable for a long time. The invented organic fire extinguishing system includes a transfer device for spraying the substance, which absorbs moisture through moistening with water, into the fire area. This transfer device is integrated into the fire engine, firefighting aircraft, or firefighting device. The mixture is prepared so that half the volume of the tank or container of the device to be extinguished is filled with water and the other half with the substance. Thanks to the cotton and sizing in its structure, the substance retains water very quickly and efficiently. During the fire, the mixture is sprayed into the fire area using the transfer device to prevent the spread of flames around the fire, smother the fire, and extinguish the flames.
