Restaurant Fire Safety Benefits & Best Practices

Restaurant Fire Safety Benefits & Best Practices

Fire is one of the biggest potential dangers in the restaurant business. To keep your staff, patrons, and facility safe, it’s important to implement well-maintained safety tools and follow best practices like developing an evacuation plan. Offering evacuation and fire safety training to your employees will ensure they handle emergencies calmly and can leave quickly if necessary. Installing and maintaining fire suppression tools is another important step.

Fire suppression systems are designed to minimize property damage in kitchens and prevent financial losses through the following:

Preventing The Spread Of Fire

Fire suppression systems help to contain fires within the area they originate, preventing them from spreading to other areas and causing more damage.

Protecting Expensive Kitchen Equipment

Commercial kitchen equipment is a costly investment. Well-maintained fire suppression systems can protect it from damage and save your business a lot of money in the event of a fire emergency.

Preventing Inventory Loss

Kitchen fires have the potential to destroy inventory and food items. In the restaurant business, this can mean a significant financial loss. Fire suppression systems can help protect your most valuable assets.

Types of Restaurant Protection Systems

At Jorgensen Co., we offer a range of kitchen protection systems, including fire protection and fire alarm systems, fire suppression systems, and regular system inspections to ensure every component remains in peak operating condition.

    Our Wet-Chemical Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems

    Wet-chemical kitchen fire suppression systems are the traditional method of extinguishing a cooking fire within a commercial setting. Kitchen fires often involve cooking oils and fats, which make flames especially dangerous and challenging to extinguish. When fire suppression liquid chemicals are applied to the affected areas, the liquid reacts to oils and fats, producing a foam that cools the area and prevents fire from reigniting.

    At Jorgensen Co., all of our wet-chemical kitchen fire suppression systems comply with NFPA 17A standards for wet chemical extinguishing systems, as well as NFPA 96 standards for ventilation control and fire protection in commercial operations.

Protect Your Kitchen with Regular Inspections

Since commercial kitchens are at a high risk of fires, maintaining a wet chemical suppression system is crucial for ensuring the safety of staff and patrons. NFPA 17A outlines the requirements for proper inspection, testing, and maintenance of these systems. Jorgensen Co. has a deep understanding of these requirements and can help you maintain compliance and optimal functionality of your fire protection equipment.

We offer specialized wet chemical suppression system inspection and testing services to keep your fire suppression system in adherence with NFPA 17A standards. These thorough, semi-annual tests cover every component of your wet chemical suppression system, including:

Hydrostatic Testing of Tanks or Cylinders
