1. Open flames and other heat sources needed to cook food 

2. Oils used for cooking 

3. Grease accumulation as a by product of cooking.

Restaurant owners invest a significant amount of money in their business. They need to protect that investment with the appropriate fire protection equipment.

From kitchen equipment, furniture and fixtures, and food and beverage inventories, restaurants have a lot of value at risk of damage from fire. Having a fire suppression system designed and configured to fit your needs is of the utmost importance.

Finding a professional, knowledgeable and properly licensed Mass fire safety contractor to configure your fire protection system to your unique requirements.
