The sails are erected using hot air balloons and the individual sails are constructed in such a manner that the heat and wind are trapped thereunder thereby helping keep the sails erect.
4 Claims, 2 Drawing Figures PATENIEUJM I am JAMES L. SCHNEIDER ATTOR N EYS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to means for fighting forest fires and, more particularly, to a firefighting method and apparatus wherein a plurality of sails are positioned in the path of the fire so as to create a shield which the fire cannot penetrate.
2. Description of the Prior Art Every year millions of dollars worth of timber land, recreational facilities, homes and other natural resources are lost due to fire. 'Many of these fires take several days or even weeks to contain. Realizing that one way to stop the loss is to prevent the fires from occurring, great efforts are made and much time is spent in educating the public so that the fires will not occur. However, no matter how much care is taken, there is no way to stop forest fires from occurring.
Therefore, the next question is whether our present methods for fighting forest fires are adequate. Unfortunately, the answer seems to be clearly no. When a fire breaks out in one of our forests, many crews of men are sent in to try and contain it, but they are not given effective tools in order to achieve their task. The men generally try to stop the fire by digging holes and grading roads and just plain hoping that the fire will not jump across the fireline. Fire retardant sprays and powders are also used but these generally are not effective in stopping the travel of the fire.
SUMMARY OF THE. INVENTION In accordance with the present invention there is provided novel means for fighting forest fires. The present invention will not stop forest fires from occurring but will give firefighting crews a tool with which to minimize the damage caused by the fire. The present fire-fighting apparatus is operative to provide a shield which the fire cannot penetrate. In this manner, the fire may be prevented from spreading and may be contained in a relatively small area. By containing the fire in a small area, fire retardant sprays or powders may be effectively used to put the tire out in the shortest possible period of time.
Briefly, the present invention comprises a plurality of sails having an awning at the upper end thereof, which sails are adapted to be erected in the path of the fire. The lower end of the sails are secured to the ground and the upper ends of the sails are elevated using hot'air balloons. The heat and wind caused by the fire will be trapped under the awning to help keep the sails erect. With the sails in place, the fire-fighting crews are now in a position to bring the fire under control.
lt is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide novel apparatus for fighting forest fires.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide apparatus for fighting forest fires in which a plurality of sails are erected in the path of the fire.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide apparatus for fighting forest fires in which a plurality of sails are supported in the path of the forest fire by a plurality of hot air balloons.
It is another object of the present invention to provide forest fire-fighting apparatus in which a plurality of aluminized, asbestos sails are erected in the path of the fire.
Still other objects, features and attendant advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from a reading of the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment constructed in accordance therewith, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts in the several figures and wherein:
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing apparatus for fighting forest fires constructed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a ers ctive view of one of the sails of FIG. I. DESCRIPTIO OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now to the drawings and, more particularly, to FIG. 1 thereof, assume a fire is out of control in a forest, generally designated 10, and that it is desired to take a stand and form a fireline in an area 11. Either airplanes, helicopters, pack horses or trucks could deliver one or more sails 12 to area 1 1. As will be explained more fully hereinafter, the lower end 13 of sails 12 are secured to the ground using stakes 14. The upper end 15 of sails 12 may be elevated by using a plurality of hot air balloons 16 connected to ends 15 of sails 12 by wires 17.
Referring now to FIG. 2, sails 12 may have any one of many possible shapes and may be any size. According to a preferred embodiment, sails 12 may include a first generally rectangular section 20 which may be feet wide and 150 feet high. Attached to edge 15 of sheet 20 is a second sheet 21, whose purpose will be explained more fully hereinafter. An additional pair of sheets 22 may be attached to the end of sheet 21 and the sides of sheet 20, as shown.
As shown in FIG. 2, edge 13 of sail 12 is adapted to be secured to the ground by means of stakes 14. In addition, upper end 15 of sail 12 includes a plurality of books 23 for connection to wires 17. A plurality of guy wires 24 connected to sail l2 keep sail 12 in the desired shape.
With hot air balloons 16 connected to hooks 23 via cables 17, balloons 16 are sent aloft. As balloons 16 rise, they will carry sail 12 with them thereby erecting sails 12 in the path of the fire. Sheets 21 and 22 form an awning which traps the heat and wind caused by the fire thereby helping keep sails l2 erect.
Sails 12 may be made of any fire-resistant material such as aluminized asbestos fabric. in addition, hot air balloons 16 may also be made of aluminized asbestos fabric. Guy wires 17 and 24 may be made of lightweight aluminum.
In the event that a single sail 12 does not cover a sufficient area to contain the fire, a plurality of sails may be connected together. For this purpose side sheets 22 may include a plurality of hooks 25 and a plurality of eyelets 26, hooks 25 on one sail adapted to be connected to eyelets 26 on the next sail.
With sails 12 in place, the fire-fighting crews are now in a position to bring the fire under control. Sails 12 provide an effective shield which the fire cannot penetrate, thereby preventing the fire from spreading and containing it in a relatively small area. By containing the fire in a small area, fire retardant sprays or powders may be effectively used to put the fire out in the shortest possible period of time.
While the invention has been described with respect to a preferred physical embodiment constructed in accordance therewith, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and improvements may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
