1. A system adapted for installation on a parcel of property and configured for proactively protecting combustible property surfaces against fire ignition and flame spread by forming environmentally-clean thin potassium salt crystalline coatings on the combustible property surfaces prior to the arrival of wildfire, said system comprising:
a storage tank containing a supply of environmentally-clean fire inhibiting liquid biochemical composition, available for spray application on and over said combustible surfaces of said parcel of property in response to a trigger signal generated before the arrival of a wildfire at the parcel of property, so as to form thin potassium salt crystalline coatings on said combustible surfaces that inhibit fire ignition and flame spread in the presence of fire,
wherein said environmentally-clean fire inhibiting liquid biochemical composition including:
(i) a dispersing agent realized in the form of a quantity of water, for dispersing potassium ions dissolved in the water;
(ii) a fire inhibiting agent realized in the form of potassium citrate, for providing potassium ions dispersed in the water when said potassium citrate is dissolved in the water; and
(iii) a coalescing agent realized in the form of triethyl citrate, an ester of citric acid, for dispersing and coalescing the potassium ions when the fire inhibiting liquid composition is applied to said combustible surfaces to be protected against fire ignition and flame spread, and while water molecules in the water evaporate during drying, the potassium ions cooperate to form said environmentally-clean thin potassium salt crystalline coatings on said combustible surfaces that proactively protects said combustible surfaces against fire ignition and flame spread, in the presence of wildfire; and
spraying apparatus arranged in fluid communication with said storage tank, and responsive to the generation of said trigger signal, for automated spraying of said supply of environmentally-clean fire inhibiting liquid biochemical composition, on and over said combustible surfaces of said parcel of property before the arrival of a wildfire at the parcel of property, so as to form said environmentally-clean thin potassium salt crystalline coatings on said combustible surfaces that inhibit fire ignition and flame spread in the presence of wildfire.
