Description

Collective fireproof and waterproof shelter for auloprotection and protection of people and property in fires.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a collective shelter of waterproof fireproof material designed for the self-protection and protection of people and goods in situations of extreme risk due to cornering in type fires (forest, interface, agricultural, urban and industrial), its objective is to contribute to minimize the effects of a passage of flame, temperature and gases from a fire, in order to increase the probability of survival of personnel trapped and involved in the emergency.

The object of the invention is to solve the security problems that arise when the personnel involved in the emergency is cornered by fire.

Background of the invention

Fire emergencies in many cases endanger the lives of affected citizens, as well as that of the different groups of professionals involved in firefighting and control tasks.

Taking into account the high rate of death of people associated with emergency situations due to cornering in fires, due to the lack of protection against high temperatures and gases generated in fires, which are incompatible with the life of the human being. This collective fire-retardant and impermeable shelter object of the invention, contributes to solve the lack of protection against fire, providing these people with a protection element that determines a safety zone to contribute to guarantee in a much greater% the probability of survival against risk situations due to cornering in fires.

You can cite research articles in this regard that refer to individual fireproof shelters: US FOREST SERVICE TECHNOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER (Missoula, MT. San Dimas, CA).

Without forgetting the information and products that are cited in different Internet pages for the self-protection of people destined to fight fires. However, in relation to the reference request, there is no known collective fireproof and waterproof shelter with similar features and components as described in said application.

Description of the invention

The collective fire-retardant and waterproof shelter for the self-protection and protection of people and property in emergency situations due to fire-generated cornering, object of the invention is a shelter as an enclosure made of resistant, fire-retardant and waterproof material. It is comprised of an anti-panic lighting system, protection masks for gases for individual use, autonomous collective and independent breathing system, anchoring system for quick and easy deployment, smoke and temperature sealing system, thermal visor for external visualization, external temperature probe, geolocator to determine the exact location of the deployment in an emergency situation, external signaling to guarantee its correct deployment and easy location through the aerial means. In addition to other elements and components that will be presented throughout this description.

Geolocation located in an interior compartment with easy location and activation.

The collective fire-retardant and waterproof shelter for the self-protection and protection of people and goods involved in fire emergencies, is applicable in the different fire and rescue services (urban and forestry), as well as another element to be used together with different existing self-protection systems for the defense and protection of people and property.

Its use is also applicable to all personnel in general in order to be a security and fire protection element with application in emergencies due to entrapment of civilian personnel in homes located on interface areas, which may be affected by fires, complemented or replacing the security and fire protection systems currently used for their protection and defense.

The use of the collective fireproof and impermeable shelter characterized for the self-protection and protection of people and property in situations of fire risk, allows personnel involved in extinction and citizens in general, to develop different procedures for dealing with situations of extreme risk by fires, in order to guarantee or minimize risks and safeguard the lives of personnel in situations of cornering.

In addition to being used in the defense and self-protection of people in situations of fire risk, it also has application in the defense and protection of material goods.

It is characterized by its possibility of application for use in the protection of deposits of liquefied gases and flammable liquids that may be affected by the passage of a flame front.

Characterized by the possibility of application as an extinguishing agent for the extinction of flammable liquids, grease or oils. Proceeding to the deployment of the shelter by its aluminized part, placing it on the surface of the burning liquid, acting in the extinction by suffocation and elimination of the oxidizer.

As it is a collective shelter, its dimensions offer the possibility of using it for the protection of vehicles threatened by a flame front, as well as to prevent its spread to adjacent areas in the event of a fire in the vehicle itself.
