Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of fire protection?

Fire protection keeps cooking fires from flaring out of control. In turn, your food quality stays pure, your customers and staff remain safe, and your restaurant is able to continue operations without risk of an expensive shutdown. By having fire protection, you also keep the fire inspector at bay while avoiding hefty fines.

Does a restaurant need a fire alarm?

It really depends on the size of your restaurant. Smaller restaurants may be able to get away with a fire suppression system and no alarm. Check with your local fire marshal to determine if your restaurant requires a fire alarm to remain safe throughout the year.

How much does it cost to install a fire suppression system?

You can expect to pay between $1 and $2 per square foot for areas covered by sprinkler heads. For retrofitted sprinkler systems, you can expect to pay a bit more at $2 to $7 per square foot.
