The Importance of Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning and Fire Suppress

---

When it comes to running a commercial kitchen, fire safety should never be an afterthought. At State Fire Prevention, we know how critical it is to keep your facility clean, compliant, and prepared—especially when dealing with high-heat cooking environments prone to grease buildup and fire hazards.

In this blog, we’ll break down why kitchen exhaust cleaning, commercial hood cleaning, and fire suppression system installation are essential for every restaurant or food service business—and how staying NFPA 96 compliant protects your team, property, and customers.

Every time you cook, smoke, steam, and airborne grease are pulled up into your kitchen’s ventilation system. Over time, this builds up inside your exhaust hood, ductwork, and fans—turning your ventilation system into a serious fire risk.

Regular kitchen exhaust cleaning and commercial hood cleaning:

• Prevent grease fires from spreading through ducts
   
• Reduce odors and improve indoor air quality
   
• Improve equipment efficiency and airflow
   
• Keep you in compliance with NFPA 96 and local fire codes
   
• Avoid violations and costly shutdowns during fire inspections
   

At State Fire Prevention, we provide professional hood cleaning services with detailed before-and-after reports to ensure your system is clean and code-ready.

 Having a fire extinguisher isn’t enough. Commercial kitchens require properly installed UL 300 fire suppression systems that activate automatically in the event of a fire—targeting fryers, stoves, and hoods before flames can spread.

Our technicians specialize in:

• Fire suppression system installation tailored to your kitchen layout
   
• Routine fire suppression inspections required by fire marshals and insurers
   
• Upgrading older systems to meet UL 300 and NFPA 96 standards
   
• Suppression system recharging, maintenance, and compliance tags
   

Whether you’re opening a new kitchen or updating your current system, we ensure your equipment is built to protect and ready to respond.

  Code violations, grease fires, and failing inspections can be costly—not just in dollars, but in downtime, damaged equipment, or even loss of life. At State Fire Prevention, we help you stay ahead of risks with a full suite of services designed for restaurant fire protection.
