PLACENTIA, CALIFORNIA— October 4-10 is Fire Prevention Week, and in honor of that, a San Francisco, CA fire protection systems company has released a tip sheet to promote fire safety among businesses.
Nationwide Fire Protection Corp., which recently opened a Placentia satellite location to better address the demand of San Francisco CA fire protection jobs and other fire protection service requests throughout California, has released a list of the top five fire prevention tips that restaurants and businesses should follow to maintain safe working conditions.
“Fire prevention is our livelihood and it’s important to us that businesses and restaurants do all they can to prevent the potential for damages caused by fires,” said Massoud Farazandeh, general manager of Nationwide Fire Protection, which is headquartered in Denver, CO. NFP is an affiliate of American Professional Services (APS-Hoods).
Fire Prevention Tips
1. Restaurants and other businesses should test their fire systems once or twice a year. This is a pull system test, where the system must be set off to ensure that it works properly in the event of a genuine emergency.
2. Change the links on nozzles annually.
3. Make sure fire extinguishers are charged at all times.
4. Keep fire systems up to code. Technology constantly evolves, and state and federal codes do as well.
5. For restaurants, keep kitchen hoods clean and free of grease.
Restaurants are the major cause of big commercial fires, Farazandeh said. In 60 percent of restaurant fires, the cause is due to excessive grease in the hoods and ducts.
