The Importance of Inspections

By Terence O’Reilly, Jr. and Sean O’Reilly, Sr.

What is the most important step you can take to improve kitchen safety and to protect the investment in your restaurant? Make sure there is a regular inspection of the fire suppression system.

The good news is that the staff and technicians at Universal Fire Protection, which is a member of the TERMAC family of companies, know what to look for in your commercial kitchen.

Within the cooking hood lies a complex, interconnected mechanical system, which triggers a chemical spray that will put out a kitchen fire. The system shuts down incoming gas lines, as well as electrical connections and return air, and contacts a designated fire company. Universal Fire Protection technicians get to the heart of potential problems, such as grease buildup, or obstructed pipes and nozzles. In a commercial kitchen, these issues come with the territory. In addition, equipment being shifted or expanded can result in the need to correct coverage as well. We also make sure your older suppression system meets today’s fire safety regulations.

Serving Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia, our goal is keeping your customers, employees and investment safe. Don’t underestimate the importance of a fire inspection and call on Universal Fire Protection to do it!
