Kitchen Fire Prevention

The fact that we are a company that can handle different types of situations is something that our clients usually value a lot. We don’t want to oversell ourselves here, but with the years that we have in the business, it is safe to say that we have learned a thing or two about fire prevention. We have actually mentioned in other areas of the site that fire prevention can actually start when you are drawing out the layout of how you want your kitchen to look like. We can safely say that we are willing to help you out every step of the way to make your kitchen safer. Dial (510) 876-9373 now for free estimates.

Why Cleaning Your Hood & Exhaust System Can Help Prevent Fires

It is obvious that hood cleaning and cleaning kitchen exhaust systems are a major part of what we do. So it really made sense to talk about the importance of hood cleaning as a safety procedure. Kitchen exhaust systems, as well as the hoods themselves, can have a lot of grease build up inside of them. If they are not properly cleaned one spark added to that grease can cause a major fire. That is why we put so much emphasis on keeping these areas clean at all times.

Your Kitchen Layout

This is something that we talked about in the first paragraph. A lot of times when people are building a kitchen they tend to overlook certain details that could potentially make the kitchen more prone to fires. Keeping two areas that are going to be using high heat to work pretty close together can become a fire hazard. A lot of people are going to say well food trucks have everything crammed together and they do fine. That is not a lie, but again prevention is set to avoid potential issues. Certainly smaller kitchens could be more at risk at times.

Do Your Safety Measures Work?

Just having that same old fire extinguisher laying around for years is not something that should make you feel safe. We can come in and check out all of the fire extinguishers that you have on site to make sure that they are working properly and that they have been filled up at a recent date. Again, this is something that we actually hope you never have to use. Making sure though that it is going to work if and when you ever have to use it should be something of a must.

Legal Requirments For Restaurants

We know that a lot of the rules and regulations that are set by the authorities can seem to be more of a pain than a solution. We can make sure though that your restaurant abides by the law in every sense of that word. That way if you ever have a surprise visit from local inspectors that are there to make sure that you have everything in order, you won’t have to worry about a thing because you will know everything is A-ok!
