According to FEMA, in 2002, more than 7,000 restaurant fires were responsible for $116 million in restaurant property damage. (See FEMA report on restaurant fires.)
The fact is that most restaurant fires start with grease, a substance that is highly flammible in solid, liquid, and vapor form. Prevention of cooking fires starts with control of grease vapors, a common source of ignition. Protect your business investments and your restaurant customers by adding top of the line grease filters and exhaust hoods to your kitchen. Proper installation and maintenance of this restaurant equipment is also essential.
Of course, fire prevention is the best remedy, but if the unthinkable happens, your restaurant should be equipped with a fire suppression system to minimize the fire damage.
Make sure to follow local restaurant fire codes; update your kitchen with filters, hoods, and a fire suppression system from Serv-U.
