Grease fires are one of the most dangerous threats to a commercial kitchen, endangering employees, customers, and even the surrounding community. The good news is that these fires are preventable with the right precautions and regular maintenance. Here’s how partnering with Flue Steam can help your kitchen remain safe, compliant, and efficient.
Creating a safe kitchen environment starts with a proactive approach to fire prevention.
Flue Steam offers a range of services designed to minimize the risk of grease fires, including:
These services not only improve kitchen safety but also ensure compliance with fire codes and reduce the likelihood of costly penalties.
Keeping your kitchen exhaust system clean is one of the most effective ways to prevent grease fires.
Flue Steam offers two methods for exhaust cleaning: hand scraping and steam cleaning.
By maintaining a clean exhaust system, you can prevent grease buildup that increases fire risks and ensures your kitchen remains compliant with safety codes.
Fire code compliance is not just a regulatory requirement—it’s a crucial part of running a safe kitchen.
After every service, Flue Steam provides a “Certificate of Performance” sticker, demonstrating compliance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes. These stickers not only keep inspectors satisfied but can also lead to reduced insurance premiums, saving you money over time.
Routine maintenance of your kitchen exhaust system goes hand in hand with fire prevention.
Every time Flue Steam visits for a cleaning, we inspect your exhaust fan to ensure it’s functioning properly. This includes checking belts, lubricating fan bearings, and replacing worn belts at no additional cost if a spare belt is available. Regular maintenance helps your system run efficiently and keeps grease from accumulating too quickly, reducing fire risks.
Don’t wait until a grease fire threatens your kitchen’s safety and compliance. Partnering with Flue Steam ensures your kitchen exhaust system remains clean, safe, and up to code.
