A pre-vented soffit panel with an integrated screen to exclude wind-blown embers from entering the attic space. Vent holes are created in the soffit, and a screen is integrated therewith, in the factory or on a production line. The screen material is fire-resistant. The pre-vented soffit panel with integrated screen can then be packaged and shipped to a job or construction site, and installed instead of, or in place of, a prior-art soffit panel. The integrated soffit screen also prevents the intrusion of wind-blown snow and several types of insects. This integrated solution provides for more rapid and cost-effective job site installation without the need to perform costly retrofitting of metal vents into prior-art soffit panels.

Metrological detection of a fire-like phenomenon, in particular a spark, flame or embers or hot particles using a first and a second measuring unit for the detection of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the fire-like phenomenon in a first or second wavelength range, respectively, optionally comprising a third measuring unit for detecting ambient light as well as optionally comprising a sensor unit for the measurement of media-specific or environment-specific measurement data. A checking means is adapted to check at a current time point (tA) on the basis of measurement data recorded by the measurement arrangement and / or stored medium- or environment-specific characteristic data, whether an adjustment criterion (A) is satisfied, and if the adjustment criterion (A) is satisfied, adjust a measurement sensitivity (M1, M2, M3) or an operating parameter (P1, P2, P3) of at least one of the measuring units.

The devices and methods described below provide for flame, ember and rain resistant vent inserts for existing installed roof vents that do not require breaking the weather resistant membrane of the roof or create damage to the surrounding building materials to install.

A controller responds to an alert from a remote alert system and responds to an AI unit that detects a fire signature, and, in response, sends signals to fire suppression equipment to defend a structure against fire. A delivery device system may include delivery devices that are capable of spraying water and / or retardant at a structure or area to defend against fire. The system may act autonomously to defend against wildfires. The system includes a base station accessible by a user device to take control of the system. Alternatively, a central monitoring system may access the base station to control the system in addition to or instead of the user. In an embodiment, the system automatically sprays water or retardant prior to the outbreak of a fire. The system may optically detect embers landing on a structure or area being defended and sprays the embers with retard and / or water.

A stove having a top portion comprising a spark arrestor comprising a base assembly comprising a base ring, a base crown, a mesh side screen connecting the base ring and the base crown, and at least one handle, and a top assembly comprising a top crown, a mesh top screen extending from the top crown, and at least one handle, wherein the base assembly is dimensioned to be detachably fitted onto the top of the stove such that the base assembly is configured to block sparks or embers generated by the stove, and wherein the top assembly is removably fitted onto the base crown such that the top assembly is configured to block sparks or embers generated by the stove.

Apparatuses and methods useful for keeping embers and other sources of heat away from building and utility structures, such as elevated decks and propane tanks, are described. An enclosure is formed from a plurality of perforated patterned panels positioned around the building or utility structure. The perforated patterned panels may include a plurality of openings disposed in variety of configurations, including in perforated block segments along a set of surfaces on the panel. The openings also may form continuous perforated strip sections along the panel. The panels may be joined using trim and other component to provide protection against wildfire events, while allowing for ventilation during everyday use.

A vent as described herein provides for a fire and ember barrier border incorporated around the perimeter of vent flashing and / or sub-flashing. In the event that a portion of vent flashing separates from the underlayment to which it was originally attached, it creates a secondary air path between the deck and the flashing and the fire and ember barrier border will prevent fire and embers from entering the secondary air path and ultimately the building.

Systems for improving fire safety in agricultural machinery are configured for detecting, at least partially controlling, and / or suppressing adverse fire-related conditions. The adverse fire-related conditions can include sparks, embers, and / or flames in the agricultural machinery.

This invention discloses a vehicle-mounted integrated method and system for monitoring camping fire safety and providing early warning of fire risks, belonging to the field of vehicle-mounted safety monitoring technology. The system includes a multi-source sensing module, a fire source identification module, a risk assessment module, a dynamic safety module, and a fire-out monitoring module. It calculates flame confidence by simultaneously acquiring visible light and thermal imaging data through multispectral sensors, achieving accurate fire source identification. Combining real-time wind speed, vegetation dryness, flammable material distance, and flammability coefficient, a risk index model is constructed to assess fire risk. The minimum safe distance and ring-shaped warning zone are calculated and graphically displayed based on fire source size, wind speed, and dryness. After fire extinguishing, the ember temperature is continuously monitored, and a temperature-time dual-threshold judgment method is used to warn of smoldering and reignition. This invention overcomes the passivity of traditional monitoring, the rigidity of static alarms, and the blind spots in ember monitoring, achieving proactive, dynamic, and closed-loop safety protection throughout the entire lifecycle of camping fire use.

This invention discloses a method for extinguishing fires using air blasts, belonging to the field of fire protection technology. This method employs distributed air blast generation units as the core fire extinguishing means. Several paper-cased units containing gunpowder are deployed to the target area of ​​the fire scene via drone swarms, aircraft, or manual methods, forming a two-dimensional or three-dimensional air blast generation matrix. Each unit has a built-in composite fuse system, supporting multiple detonation methods such as radio remote control, time delay, thermal sensitivity, and shock wave linkage, enabling simultaneous detonation, cascaded detonation, or autonomous thermal triggering. The fire is extinguished through the superposition effect of dense air blasts. This invention also provides optional modular air cannons as auxiliary tools for clearing stubborn embers. This method is particularly suitable for large-scale firefighting of forest and grassland fires, offering advantages such as high safety, large-scale deployment, environmental friendliness, low cost, and the ability to handle three-dimensional fires.
