Nationwide Fire Protection | Restaurant Fire System | Denver, CO

Restaurant owners keep their businesses, staff, and customers safe from fire by ensuring all evacuation pathways are free of clutter and debris. A fire suppression system will also be installed on all necessary cooking equipment, along with a sprinkler system. Finally, fire extinguishers are placed in strategic areas throughout the kitchen and dining room. This system provides a multi-faceted approach to fire safety to keep everyone safe while ensuring excellent marks from the fire inspector.

The fire suppression system can be disarmed by opening the control panel and selecting the disable button. Once disabled, the system will shut down for a limited time before it reactivates. In most cases, the time for auto-reactivation is listed on the control panel door. Next, identify if your hood suppression system uses water or fire suppressant chemicals. You should see a label on the system that tells you what kind of system you have installed. If you need more time to look for the label, you might have to disable the system manually to enact an extended shutdown. For water suppression systems, look underneath the kitchen hood until you see the water valve.

If your system uses fire suppressant liquid, turn off the fuel shutoff valve, which should also be located underneath the hood. If you cannot find the valve, you may have to follow the piping from the hood until you find the suppressant holding tank.
