Summer’s Heating Up — Is Your Kitchen Fire Protection Ready?
As temperatures rise and food festivals, BBQs, and outdoor events return in full swing, now’s the time to make sure your fire protection is up to the task. Whether you’re running a full-scale commercial kitchen, a food truck, or a seasonal pop-up, fire safety isn’t optional—it’s essential.
At Fairfield Fire Protection, we specialize in commercial kitchen fire safety—from Class K fire extinguisher services to full kitchen suppression system installations. If your operation includes high-heat cooking or hot oils, keep reading. This guide could save your business… and more.
Why Class K Fire Extinguishers Matter
Standard fire extinguishers aren’t built to handle kitchen fires. Grease, oils, and high-temperature cooking require Class K extinguishers—specially designed to suppress cooking fires safely and efficiently. These extinguishers release a chemical agent that cools and smothers hot oils, preventing flare-ups and re-ignition.
Quick Tips: Class K Fire Extinguisher Requirements
- Inspect regularly to ensure pressure and condition are optimal
- Maintain annually to meet code and manufacturer standards
- Recharge after use, even for small discharges
- Hydrostatically test every 5 years to ensure safe operation
The Hidden Hero: Your Kitchen Suppression System
Above your fryer or grill is a powerful, often overlooked safety tool—your kitchen fire suppression system. These systems are required by code in commercial cooking environments and are designed to:
- Automatically detect flames or high heat
- Shut down cooking equipment
- Release a chemical agent to suppress fire instantly
If your system hasn’t been inspected or serviced recently, you may be putting your team, your customers, and your business at risk.
Don’t Wait for an Emergency
Summer is busy—and that’s exactly why it’s the perfect time to check in on your fire protection systems. The cost of prevention is always lower than the cost of recovery.
