Fire Protection Services

If you own a commercial kitchen then you will be well aware of the many fire risks that have the potential to present themselves. Should any of these scenarios occur then it is important to know how to deal with them. In this blog post, we at Fire Protection Services (FPS) will take a closer look at the main causes of fire hazards in commercial kitchens and how to react if these situations arise.

Commercial Kitchen Fire Hazards

Within commercial kitchens, most fires stem from issues with cooking appliances. An example of this would be a fault with a deep fat fryer which would result in the oils catching fire. A situation such as this has the potential to be extremely dangerous so it is important that it is dealt with in the right way. Below, we will explain the best way to do so.

Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers

All fires taking place within commercial kitchens should be combated with wet chemical fire extinguishers. This is because they are able to extinguish fires by producing a solution that cools and emulsifies burning fats and oils. The surface will then also become sealed in order to prevent the fire from reigniting. So, if you own a commercial kitchen, we strongly recommend investing in a wet chemical fire extinguisher.
