Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems FAQs
Do I need kitchen suppression if I have extinguishers?
Many insurers and landlords require it for commercial cooking, as extinguishers alone may not reach the duct.
Does the canopy need cleaning too?
Yes. Grease build-up in canopies and ducts is a major fire risk.
