ABSTRACT:
A remote fire fighting method provides for remote and early response delivery of solid carbon dioxide in capsules by means of standard artillery guns to cool the fire and displace needed oxygen from the fire, useful for fighting fires difficult to approach such as forest fires as well as fires in developed areas, such as urban multistory buildings. Projectiles of encapsulated solid carbon dioxide are produced and strategically stored refrigerated until a fire occurrence at which time they are launched as a projectile from standard artillery guns in a pattern that surrounds the windward side adjacent and outside the fire followed by a pattern of launched projectiles about one-third of the way into the fire from the leeward side such that carbon dioxide gas from said first and second sets envelopes at least a portion of the fire area and migrates through the fire, chilling it and excluding oxygen for combustion therein to arrest progress of and extinguishing the fire.
