At Atlantic Fire Pro, we offer all sorts of cutting-edge commercial fire suppression equipment and systems to safeguard restaurant operations or other kinds of business activity.
One of the core systems that we service and sell is called a kitchen suppression system. It’s a comprehensive setup for keeping restaurant kitchens safe due to ubiquitous flame and heat and pressure.
The centerpiece of the kitchen suppression system is often a chemical release installation in the range hood that is designed to release at the advent of a certain amount of heat. A fusible core piece will melt at a certain temperature, triggering the response. Some manual aspects of the system will typically be available too, so that human operators can assist in anticipating and shutting down fire events.
Kitchen Suppression System Requirements
Typically, kitchens with an open range or similar cooking equipment will need a kitchen suppression system. Some types of pizza ovens and other enclosed cooking elements may be exempt from these requirements.
However, these systems help keep everyone in the kitchen safe and protect the owner’s investment in the business as a whole. We recommend having the most fire safety equipment possible in a restaurant kitchen, because even with scrupulous safety practices, there are still those unknowns that carry risk.
Our Involvement
Atlantic Fire Pro is involved in selling modern innovative kitchen suppression systems. We can also service these systems and advise on what’s best for a particular restaurant kitchen. We are also a top choice for the semi-annual inspections that help with compliance for commercial food service operations.
Chemical fire suppression systems are the modern response to fire risk. Restaurant owners have to think about various types of risk including
- Grease fires
- Fire from unattended cooking
- Fire from cigarette or tobacco use
- Electrical fires
In addition to working fire extinguishers and fire alarms, kitchen suppression systems are a key part of enhancing fire safety at a food service business location. Again, workplace safety standards matter, too, and staff training is ultimately important, not just in fire safety, but in all kinds of safety outcomes.
Ask us about the context of how fire suppression works in your industry. Our specialized knowledge means we consult with clients about their own needs and what is standard for a business of their purpose and size. Be on safe ground with adequate fire safety equipment from a trusted source, and good advice on how to protect everything at your business.
