A Way To Extinguish House Fires?

2. Houses are all different shapes and sizes and they don't all sit on flat ground.
3. Not every house has room on the sides. Lots of houses have other houses only a couple/few feet away.
4. How would you construct one of these cases and how much would it weigh? (a lot)
5. Landscaping, fences, decks get in the way.
6. Power, cable, phone lines and trees get in the way.
7. Who would pay for the materials to build it, make it portable and then fit a helicopter to carry it?
8. Fire fighters are on duty and usually minutes away from any average fire. The time it would take to get a pilot to a helicopter from where it is, to the glass case and hook it up, then travel to a fire, would be way too long to do any good. Then you have to fit it over the house and hope for perfect conditions. By that time, the house is a pile of burnt wood on the ground.
9. Firefighters often have to go into a structure to save people.
10. Inclement weather?

A 1" thick X 7500 square foot glass case would weigh around 7500 to 8000 lbs in glass alone. And that's for a small house.

1. Outside of the fire house or wherever a helicopter is kept.

2. The shape of the houses don't matter as long as you have case big enough.

3. It wouldn't work on every house, so does that mean you shouldn't use it on the houses it does work on?

4. Construction companies? Not sure on cost but the money it could save would make it worth it.

5. See 3.

6. See 3 and 5.

7. The government. A normal helicopter would hopefully be able to carry it.

8. The glass case could be kept near the helicopter and even hooked up at all times. Even if it's not connected at all times, a few clamps and it's ready to go. Also, helicopters can fly at 120+ miles per hour. If it's a small house fire, obviously it wouldn't be needed, but it sometimes takes firefighters hours to put out house fires, so this would cut down on time by a great deal.

9. They'd obviously have to get people out first.

10. Like what? Unless there's a tornado or hurricane, why would weather matter.

You wouldn't need to fly around helicopters all the time because how often is there a house fire that would require it?
