SAN DIEGO - March 12, 2020 - PRLog -- With the next wildfire season only a few weeks away and some insurers declining coverage in threatened areas across the state of California, M-Fire Holdings, LLC, headquartered in San Diego, recently launched its patent-protected Mighty Fire Breaker™ Wild Fire Home and Community Defense Network for use by fire departments across the western United States.
The network, managed by Mighty Fire Breaker, LLC, was designed to allow firefighters to create and maintain wildfire breaks, barriers, and zones, wherever needed, through new, improved, and tested clean chemistry technology, which sprays building structures and dry vegetation with an organic fire inhibitor compound.
M-Fire's UL GreenGold Certified Mighty Fire Breaker® environmentally-clean fire inhibitor chemistry has also been used by commercial developers to protect multi-family apartment buildings, as featured in The New York Times, Real Estate Weekly, Engineering News-Record, The Malibu Times magazine, and other major publications. Its ability to render high-density wood-frame construction fire resistant was recognized with the insurance industry's International Risk Management Institute's 2018 Gary E Bird Innovation Award.
Deploying advanced GPS-tracking and mapping techniques, and GPS-tracked sprayers, its Mighty Fire Breaker™ Wild Fire Home and Community Defense Network proactively tracks and maps nearby wildfires, providing crucial information to firefighters.
In 2019, 7,860 wildfires burned more than 250,000 acres in California, destroying 732 structures and killing three people, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
These statistics demonstrate that, with the Santa Anna and Diablo winds propelling fires in advance of the ability of firefighters to control with water and manually create fire breaks, only a new and different approach can solve the problem.
With the advent of the Wild Fire Home and Community Defense Network, the traditional tools of fighting wildfires – conventional picks, rakes, shovels, and bulldozers – will quickly become things of the past when managing the destructive power of naturally-occurring wildfires in ever-expanding urban and suburban areas.
In the spirit of fire prevention pioneer Benjamin Franklin, the Mighty Fire Breaker™ Wild Fire Defense Network allows any local fire department, small or large, volunteer or paid, working independently or along with neighboring fire departments, to practice this famous American's catch phrase: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
The Mighty Fire Breaker™ approach will significantly reduce losses to property and life by fire that would otherwise occur using conventional fire prevention methods and technologies.
"Wildfires continued to expand in size and intensity across California and the western United States last year, displacing thousands of families from their homes and burning hundreds of thousands of acres," said Steve Conboy, Chairman and General Manager of M-Fire Holdings LLC. "We must never forget the tragedy of parents and children coming back to a pile of ashes where a home once stood. Instead, we need a proactive approach, where homes are defended from wildfires automatically, on site, and people can be effectively and more rapidly evacuated. When they return, their home and belongings will still be there."
Contact Mighty Fire Breaker LLC's founder and CEO, Steve Conboy, to learn how your fire department can subscribe to the Mighty Fire Breaker™ Wild Fire Home and Community Defense Network and proactively protect property and life from the threat of wildfires within your jurisdiction.

MANILA, Philippines — Butcher Boy has earned a Bib Gourmand distinction in the 2027 Michelin Guide Philippines, moving up from its Michelin-Selected status in the 2026 edition and joining a select group of restaurants recognized for serving quality food at accessible prices. The recognition was announced during the official awarding ceremony at the Manila Marriott Hotel on Thursday, Oct. 29, attended by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Butcher Boy was among only two restaurants promoted from the Michelin-Selected category to Bib Gourmand this year. The distinction recognizes establishments that offer good-quality food at reasonable prices. Butcher Boy Philippines CEO Dino Chua received the award, marking another milestone for the restaurant, which has continued to establish its presence in the local dining scene. The recognition follows the restaurant's opening of its new and expanded location at Alabang West Parade along Daang Hari Road in Muntinlupa City in 2026. Led by Chua, the move marked a new chapter for the brand, allowing it to reach more diners in southern Metro Manila while maintaining its signature contemporary Asian-fusion cuisine. Originally founded by Michelin-starred chef Andrew Walsh of Singapore's acclaimed Cure, Butcher Boy built its following at its former Makati location before relocating to Alabang to accommodate a bigger dining space and connect with a wider community. Its culinary approach combines Southeast Asian flavors with Western cooking techniques, offering dishes such as its signature chicken laksa dumplings, fried chicken bao, Asian tacos, pork adobo and a variety of steaks, alongside carefully crafted cocktails. The chicken laksa dumplings were among the dishes highlighted by Michelin inspectors. During the restaurant's grand opening, Marketing Head Aubrey S. Mojica described its concept as “where east meets west,” emphasizing that while the menu had been expanded, the restaurant remained committed to preserving the quality, atmosphere and dining experience that patrons had come to expect. Mojica also underscored the importance of customer service, saying the restaurant's identity goes beyond its food to include the experience it provides to diners. With its latest Michelin recognition, Butcher Boy strengthens its position in the Philippine dining scene, bringing its combination of Asian-fusion flavors, steaks and accessible dining to the Alabang community. Butcher Boy is located at Alabang West Parade, Daang Hari Road, Muntinlupa City. For reservations, call 0939-868-0531.
