When To Schedule Kitchen Fire Suppression Inspections

You may not use your kitchen fire suppression system regularly — in fact, you hope you never have to use it — but you can’t let it be a case of “out of sight, out of mind.” The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requires professional inspections every six months. Keep in mind that fire suppression cylinders also require maintenance every six or 12 years, depending on the type of equipment you have.

Benefits of Professional Kitchen Fire Suppression Inspections

As a busy restaurant owner or manager, you might be preoccupied with running your business, but there are many benefits to making restaurant fire suppression inspections a top priority twice a year:

  • Remain code-compliant: Businesses must adhere to federal and local fire codes. If you fall behind on kitchen fire suppression inspections, you could be out of compliance, possibly resulting in fines and penalties.
  • Promote safety: You don’t have much time to react when a fire breaks out. That’s why you want peace of mind, knowing that your kitchen fire suppression system is ready to go. With inspections every six months, you can rest assured that the suppression system will handle it while your staff and patrons evacuate to safety.
  • Reduce the risk of property damage: Your kitchen staff might be able to put out the flames using a fire extinguisher, but with a fully functional suppression system, you can put safety first and still minimize property damage. This reduces your financial losses and lets you reopen your restaurant faster following the incident.
