Protect the forests from burning

Every summer huge areas of forest are lost as a result of fires started by arsonists or plain accidents. Unfortunately when weather conditions are unfavorable they get so big that it is impossible to turn them off. Why not develop some type of liquid that you could throw on areas of the forest that would make trees and plants resistant to fire for an extended period of time like months or perhaps years and prevent the plants from burning. The liquid would have to be harmless to plants. The method would be similar to the planes and helicopters that throw water to extinguish the fire but water dries out in a few hours.
