Grease Exhaust
From 2000-2004 U.S. fire departments responded to 8520 fires in eating and drinking establishments. These fires caused an annual average of 3 civilian deaths, 113 civilian fire injuries and $190 million in direct property damage. The overwhelming cause of these fires was cooking. These frightening facts are gathered from data from the U.S. Fire Administration's National Fire Incident Reporting System and the National Fire Protection Association's annual fire department experience survey.

In today's modern cooking environment we have open flame cooking and new appliances that are well insulated and cook at higher temperatures. If a grease fire occurs the temperature of this fire can reach 1600 to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit rapidly, particularly if there are grease laden ducts present. One of the keys to preventing these fires is the removal of grease and grease particulate from the restaurant hood exhaust system on an ongoing and scheduled basis.

The fire triangle consists of oxygen, heat and fuel. Of those three elements, fuel can be controlled to prevent a fire through proper cleaning of the hood, duct and fan. In addition to controlling the fuel present within this system additional benefits are derived through this cleaning such as longer life on fans and fan motors and a better working environment for the employees present within the facility. Not cleaning a grease exhaust system is a bit like walking a picket fence. As long as everything is going well, more money is made through saving this expense and you are a hero. However, the one time something goes very wrong the risk is high that lives will be affected either through loss of life or livelihood and everything that has been gained could be lost.
