Commercial Kitchens
Commercial kitchens are highly susceptible to fires due to a combination of factors inherent to their operations. The intense and continuous use of high-temperature cooking equipment, often involving oils and greases, significantly increases the risk of ignition.
— Fire spreads quickly
Hazards
Flammable materials such as oils, paper towels, packaging, and cleaning supplies are commonly present in a commercial kitchen, making it easy for fires to spread rapidly. The use of electrical appliances alongside open flames and gas equipment further compounds the risk.
Additionally, the fast-paced nature of these kitchens, coupled with a bustling environment, can lead to accidents, spills, and inadequate maintenance, creating an environment conducive to fire outbreaks.
