The Yarnel fire was a huge wakeup call when it came to what the19 fire fighters had used as a last resort. It's published information that the current fire shelters in use only protect up to 500F degrees for a couple of minutes at best. Those fire fighters that deployed their fire shelters didn't have a chance in a 2000F degree wildfire and those in the same circumstances in the future won't either. I approached the National Forestry through a prominent authority with the LA County Fire Department who knew their current protection was inadequate 16 months before the Yarnel fire, but was told they had just switched to the current inadequate shelter. However less than a month after Yarnel, I heard back from one of the Forestry directors who is on the Yarnel investigation team, curious on our development and testing of our material. He also put me in touch with the head of the fire testing development center whom I will be working with along the way.
Our Sun FireDefense Fire Blanket doesn't burn, up to 3000F with no smoke or fumes and is water resistant. We further strengthen the outside of the shelter with a 2000F degree inconel based spray. It's known that some fire fighters have delayed in deploying their shelter until it's to late because of the known lack of protection it gives. The nickname for the current shelter is called "The Shake and Bake" This hesitancy and lack of confidence in itself has costed lives. We're here to change that!!
We are working with a great team to help construct not only a much higher grade fire tolerance shelter, but a quicker, more reliable way to deploy. My cousin, who is a graduate of Stanford University, has been working on the Mars project with JPL since it's inception. He is a great asset to us for helping functionalize this innovation along with other esteemed colleagues that have firsthand experience with high temperature aerospace technology.
