Kitchen Hood Fire Suppression

Protection Designed for Real Kitchens — Not One-Size-Fits-All Solutions

Grease fires don’t care how well your kitchen is run — they care about heat, fuel, and time. From high-volume fryers and griddles to specialty cooking oils like duck fat, commercial kitchens require precise, fast-acting fire suppression systems designed for real-world cooking conditions.

We design, install, inspect, and service wet chemical kitchen hood suppression systems that activate instantly, suppress flames directly at the source, and help prevent re-ignition — minimizing damage, downtime, and risk to your staff.

You’ve invested heavily in your kitchen, your equipment, and your reputation. Our job is to protect what you can’t easily replace.

  • Ansul R-102 — The industry benchmark for restaurant fire suppression. R-102 systems deliver rapid knockdown of Class K grease fires, automatically shut down fuel and power sources, and are proven reliable in high-volume commercial kitchens.
  • PYRO-CHEM — A robust and flexible wet chemical system trusted in demanding cooking environments. PYRO-CHEM solutions provide effective coverage across a wide range of cooking appliances and hood configurations.
  • Range Guard (Badger) — Designed for precision and consistency, Range Guard systems offer targeted discharge, dependable detection, and reliable suppression for kitchens that demand consistent performance.
  • Amerex KP — A clean, effective wet chemical system engineered to suppress Class K fires quickly while helping prevent re-flash. Amerex KP is known for dependable operation and straightforward maintenance.
