Kitchen Fire Suppression Services
Installation
Opening a new restaurant or upgrading outdated fire safety equipment? Our certified technicians assess your cooking line and design a suppression system customized to your kitchen layout. We install systems from leading brands including ANSUL, Amerex, Kidde, Badger, and CaptiveAire — all meeting NFPA 96 and local fire code requirements.
Inspection & Testing
NFPA 17A requires semi-annual professional inspections for commercial kitchen fire suppression systems, plus an additional inspection any time the system activates or your cooking line changes. Our technicians follow a comprehensive 37-step inspection checklist to catch deficiencies before they become violations — and issue documentation ready for your fire marshal.
Maintenance & Emergency Service
State Fire provides 24-hour emergency service for suppression system repairs, recharges, and replacements. Whether your system activated unexpectedly or you need a pre-inspection tune-up, we’ll get your kitchen back online fast. We also service connected systems including kitchen hoods and fire extinguishers.
NFPA 96 Compliance for Commercial Kitchens
Restaurants are required to maintain automatic fire suppression systems over all cooking equipment under NFPA 96: Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations. Failure to comply can result in failed inspections, fines, forced closures, or denied insurance claims.
State Fire helps you stay inspection-ready with:
- Certified installation and service documentation
