“Water-mist fire-suppression
systems offer excellent protection
for commercial cooking areas”
“Almost
50% of all accidental fires in hotels, restaurants and fast-food outlets start in the
kitchen and the
majority of these involve cooking oil or fat. These fires are difficult to extinguish because they burn at a high temperature and re-ignite easily. Without effective suppression, cooking-oil fires can cause serious damage to property and loss of life.”
