3 Types of Commercial Fire Protection
Fire Extinguishers
No matter if your business has a kitchen or not, you must have a fire extinguisher on site. It has to be visible and easy to access. Moreover, you need to have fully-charged and routinely-inspected extinguishers. OSHA standards require employers to have employees trained on how to use a fire extinguisher.
Fire Suppression System
The new state-of-the-art fire suppression system takes care of a flash fire the moment it starts. It covers a fire with advanced property wet chemicals. This chemical not only extinguishes a fire, but also prevents it from restarting.
A fire suppression system is truly a necessary addition to new builds. Likewise, existing buildings should install this fire suppression system. Both only require a call to Steel Mountain Fire & Safety.
Commercial Kitchen Hood Cleaning
One of the most common fire-start areas in a building is in the kitchen. Specifically, due to grease build-up on kitchen exhaust hoods.
Steel Mountain Fire & Safety uses steam cleaning to clean hoods. For a thorough cleaning of bare metal, the steam machines reach temperatures up-to 330 degrees. Additionally, technicians will clean the steel around the hood, filters and exhaust fan.
