Abstract:

Method and apparatus for remotely controlling a fire protection system for buildings. This method of fire protection uses a wireless or wired control system to remotely activate a fire protection system by sending it an activation signal or activation message wherein one or more commands can configure the system with specified operation instructions. The system utilizes roof top sprinklers and may additionally utilize existing irrigation systems or additional zones only used during the prevention of wildfires to wet down area in advance of fires. The system can be controlled by various municipal fire authorities that are given the authority to control fires. Immediate control of the system is always available to the transmitting authority. When activated, the central processor communicates to the authority that activated the fire protection system. The central processor transmits information back to the transmitting authority such as but not limited to water flow confirmation, water pressure, air temperature, roof temperature, wind direction, humidity and still or live images of the protected property.
