Restaurants Fire Protection
Ventura & Santa Barbara Counties
Restaurants face fire risks that most businesses don’t. Grease-laden cooking equipment, high-heat appliances, and open flames create conditions where a fire can start and spread in seconds. Integrated Fire & Safety provides kitchen-specific fire protection for restaurants throughout Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties.
Kitchen Hood Suppression Systems
Every commercial kitchen needs a UL 300-listed hood suppression system. IFS inspects, repairs, and installs wet chemical suppression systems that protect cooking equipment, hood plenums, and exhaust ducts. When a fire starts at the cooking surface, the system activates automatically, suppressing the fire, shutting off the gas supply, and alerting staff before the situation escalates.
We work with all major hood suppression manufacturers and can retrofit existing kitchens or design systems for new buildouts.
NFPA 96 Compliance
NFPA 96 governs ventilation control and fire protection for commercial cooking operations. Ventura County fire marshals enforce these requirements strictly, and violations can shut down your kitchen. IFS handles the full compliance picture: semi-annual hood suppression inspections, system testing and recharging, documentation for your records, and coordination with your hood cleaning vendor.
Portable Fire Protection
Kitchen staff need Class K fire extinguishers within reach and the training to use them. IFS provides extinguisher placement, monthly inspections, annual maintenance, and hands-on fire extinguisher training so your team responds correctly, not just legally.
