1. An intelligent automated community wildfire detection and suppression control system comprising:
a wireless mesh network;
a plurality of off-grid, solar-powered field sensors that are configured to detect a thermal signature from a wildfire in an area of varying topography and transmit a wireless signal over the wireless mesh network;
a plurality of fire suppressor devices applied to a plurality of building structures in the area, each building structure having one or more fire suppressor devices configured to spray water on the building structure when a detected fire puts the building structure at risk;
an off-grid, self-powered system control house that is communicably connected to the plurality of off-grid, solar-powered field sensors over the mesh network, wherein the system control house comprises an intelligent fire suppression server, a transmitter-receiver, a satellite modem, an off-grid power source, and fire suppression hardware, wherein the intelligent fire suppression server comprises smart control software that is configured to calculate velocity and direction vectors based on fused field sensor data and is further configured to generate a three-dimensional (3D) real-time map of the wildfire with future predicted wildfire movement paths, wherein the intelligent fire suppression server transmits the 3D real-time map and an alert warning level to home owners in the area and at least one fire department servicing the area; and
an off-grid primary additional water supply source that is configured to provide a primary additional water supply to the fire suppressor devices of the building structures to suppress wildfires and protect the building structures when a city main water line is detected to have low water pressure.
