METHOD TO PREVENT, LOCALISE AND EXTINGUISH FIRE AT PEATBOGS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A62C3/02 

FIELD: fire fighting facilities.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of forestry and can be used in fighting fires at peatbogs with high peat capacity. The method comprises laying the channel around probable fire source, water supply from underground aquifers and filling the channel. Before filling one of the edges of the channel with water, it is deepened intermittently along the length in the form of benches for no more than one third of the channel depth, water injection wells with depth of no more than 2/3 of peat layer capacity are made, and they are covered with filter medium. Between the water injection wells the hollows are laid from the channel with a bias towards the probable fire source, and the thresholds of the hollows sources are made above the benches, and after filling the channel the water level is maintained above the benches level.

EFFECT: depending on the situation, the method enables to create quickly an effective vertical curtain of wet peat, to moisten the surface layer of peat, and in case of fire to supply additionally water to the fire source, and to prevent, localise and extinguish fires at peatbogs.
