Restaurant Fire Code & Kitchen Safety

Restaurants have high fire risks due to grease, cooking flames, and electrical grids. Commercial kitchens must satisfy NFPA 96 and NFPA 17A to prevent kitchen fires and grease explosions.

Core Commercial Kitchen Rules

• Hood Suppression: Wet chemical suppression systems must protect all deep fryers, griddles, broilers, and ranges.
• Semi-Annual Checks: Systems must be inspected, cleaned, and certified every 6 months.
• Auto-Shutoffs: When the suppression system activates, it must shut off gas flow and electrical outlets under the hood.
