How Does a Fire Suppression System Work?

A fire suppression system quickly detects and suppresses fires in their early stages. This feature is crucial for commercial kitchens as it can prevent fire spread and minimize damage to property and people. Here’s how a ProTex® Fire Suppression System from American Fire Shield typically works:

  • Heat Detection—The system has heat sensors above the cooking equipment that constantly monitor the kitchen’s temperature. If the temperature rises rapidly, the sensors trigger an alarm, indicating the danger of a potential fire.
  • Alarm Activation—Once the heat sensors detect a potential fire, they activate an alarm system that alerts employees to evacuate immediately. This vital feature gives occupants the maximum warning time to evacuate the premises.
  • System Activation—Upon the alarm’s activation, the system automatically discharges a fire-suppression agent, such as wet chemical or dry powder, to extinguish the fire. This response contains the fire and prevents it from spreading quickly.
  • Gas Shutoff—Besides suppressing the fire, some systems will automatically shut off gas lines and electricity to prevent further fire fueling. As a result, the fire spreads minimally and has a built-in feature for containment.
  • Manual Activation—A manual activation option allows employees to activate the system manually in an emergency. This option allows the system to prevent small fires from quickly erupting into larger ones.

What Are Commercial Kitchen Fire Suppression System Requirements?

Proper fire suppression systems are crucial for all commercial kitchens, whether restaurants, hotels, or institutional facilities. Fire protection codes and regulations differ depending on the state and local jurisdiction. Still, there are some standard requirements that most commercial kitchens must meet:

  • Automatic Fire Suppression System—Most jurisdictions require that all commercial kitchens have an automatic fire suppression system to suppress fires before they spread quickly. American Fire Shield carries parts to maintain the major brand like Pyro Chem, Pro Tex, Range Guard, Ansul, Badger, Buckeye, etc.
  • UL300 Compliance—The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requires a UL300-compliant fire suppression system to protect commercial kitchens. These systems can handle high-heat and grease fires commonly found in kitchen operations.
  • Proper Installation—Trust certified professionals familiar with local codes and regulations to install your fire suppression system. Improper installation can lead to malfunction or failure in a fire, so depend on a qualified team like American Fire Shield to handle the job.
  • Regular Maintenance and Inspection—It’s essential to schedule regular maintenance and inspections for fire suppression systems according to NFPA standards. By keeping up with these services, you can ensure they function correctly and comply with local codes.

Why Are Kitchen Fire Suppression System Inspections and Service Necessary?

Regularly maintaining and inspecting your fire suppression system is crucial to ensure it complies with local codes and regulations. American Fire Shield has a team of certified technicians who will thoroughly inspect and test your system, making any necessary repairs or replacements to keep it in top working condition. We also offer 24/7 emergency services in case of a malfunction or fire event, so you can relax knowing we’re ready to help whenever needed.
