Tragically, 245 fire fighters have lost their lives since 1948 while trying to protect us, our property and the environment. (Source Citynews.ca)
If an exhaust cleaning company is not cleaning to NFPA 96 Standard, it is acting with negligence. It increases the possibility of a restaurant fire, causing firemen to have to answer the call and put their lives on the line for us. There is a way to dramatically reduce the risk of kitchen exhaust and hood fires. Simply make the commitment to have the entire system inspected and cleaned to bare metal at a proper frequency each and every time. Kitchen Exhaust System Inspection Schedule
When you choose your professional kitchen exhaust cleaning company they should provide you with Absolute Proof® that it has been cleaned to bare metal. It’s our responsibility to provide this Absolute Proof® to provide reassurance that we are helping you to prevent kitchen grease fires. It comes in the form of service reports detailing the condition of the system before and after the cleaning, backed up by photos of the interior of all the ducts and the fan, not just the hood. We honour those firefighters by doing our best to eliminate the risk of grease fires…It’s our responsibility.
