A restaurant fire in Marysville can quickly turn into significant fire damage that calls for detailed restoration. These fires are often difficult to extinguish, and the protein residue left behind is stubborn and intense.

Preventing Kitchen Fires

Not only should your commercial kitchen have tools to put out a fire, but you also need tips to help keep them from starting to begin with. When running a kitchen, these are a few things to keep in mind:

• Safety is paramount. Train kitchen staff and front-of-house the best methods for spotting and fixing fire hazards. They should also know protocols if a fire breaks out and learn a proper evacuation plan.
• Equipment maintenance and inspections. Always check wires for splicing or fraying. When you notice equipment not working properly, unplug it and ensure it gets inspected and repaired by a trained professional.
• Invest in a fire suppression system. Automatic fire suppression systems are similar to having a first responder on-call. The system automatically disperses chemicals to help diffuse flames while also shutting down the electrical supply or fuel to any nearby equipment.
