Fire extinguishers are labeled to indicate the class of fire they are designed for. Ensuring that you have the correct extinguisher for the potential fires in your building is imperative. Most business owners only need ABC fire extinguishers as those are the typical fires that occur in buildings.

Another thing to consider is the size of the fire extinguisher that your home or building requires. Fire extinguishers come in a variety of sizes (the most common being 2.5 lbs, 5 lbs, and 10 lbs). After we evaluate your needs, we’ll be able to recommend the best fit for your needs.

Our number one focus is your safety. We will take the time to make sure that we consider all aspects of your home, building, or office before giving you our recommendations. Customer Service Satisfaction is our top priority and because of that, we will do whatever it takes to make sure your property and valuables are protected from fire hazards, as well as ensure that your building meets fire safety codes.

Please contact us so we can recommend the correct type of fire extinguisher.

 Kitchen Hood Suppression System

A commercial cooking environment brings together the three components of the fire triangle, creating an ideal situation for a fire to occur:

  1. Fuel provided by the grease and oil in foods and cooking media

  2. Oxygen from the free-flowing air of the exhaust and return air

  3. Heat or ignition sources provided by the cooking appliances

When a fire spreads into the plenum and ductwork of the exhaust system without proper fire protection equipment, it can quickly grow out of control, spreading rapidly across a roof or attic space where it is extremely difficult to fight.

A kitchen fire that can cause a catastrophic loss can easily be controlled with the help of a fire protection system.

Commercial kitchen fires are a constant concern for restaurant owners. In fact, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) states there are an average of 8,240 fires at restaurants in a year. 40% of those fires start in the kitchen area. With this in mind, you can see that having a proper kitchen fire suppression system in place is essential.

According to NFPA 96, your kitchen fire suppression system should be inspected every six months and completed by a licensed fire protection company. It’s vital to have a fire protection company check your kitchen fire suppression system periodically.

Otherwise, you risk not properly stopping any fires that may start, which could cause serious harm to people in the building and extensive property damage.
