The Casa Grande Union High School InvenTeam invented The Fire Defense Initiative system to help prevent the spread of wildfires in indefensible neighborhoods. The system’s IR sensors detect when a fire is approaching the house and trigger the device to cover the house in foam up to four meters from a distance of seven meters. The reservoir is filled with five gallons of class A foam which is enough for a single use.
