Install A Fire Suppression System In Your Restaurant Kitchen

Posted on: 25 March 2022

When you are building your restaurant, there are a lot of things that you need to make sure that you have. One of them is a fire suppression system in your kitchen. This isn't something that everyone thinks about when they are planning out their dream restaurant, but there are several reasons why you should make sure that a fire suppression system is built into the system from the very beginning.

Safety

The biggest reason to have a fire suppression system in your kitchen is safety. It is really easy to have a fire start in your kitchen just from all the grease that is being used, or someone leaves a towel or an oven mitt too close to an open flame. Those fires can start awfully fast, move awfully quick, and can be very difficult to put out. For example, for most people, their first instinct is going to pour water on a fire, but you can't do that with a grease fire, because the water will just help the grease to spread and the fire to spread. That can make it harder to put out. However, a fire suppression system can use things other than water to put out fires, which will get the fires out quicker. All of that put together means that your employees and your customers are going to be safer. 

Savings

You may also be able to get some savings out of having a fire suppression system built directly into your kitchen. You need to have insurance on your building so that you can have the money to repair or replace damage. If your restaurant catches on fire, that can end up costing you a lot of money, and cause your insurance rates to go up. However, your insurance company may give you a break on your premiums if you have a fire suppression system built in because the system can either stop the fire or make sure it doesn't get too big for the fire department to handle. That will limit damage and limit how much money it will cost to repair and replace your kitchen. 

If you are building your dream restaurant, then you want to make sure that you have everything that will make it the best possible place to go to eat. One of the things you should make sure to have is a fire suppression system in your kitchen.
