Catering
Establishments in the catering sector, whether professional kitchens, restaurants, fast-food outlets or community centres, are particularly exposed to the risk of fire. The automatic fire detection and extinguishing systems offered by GS Environnement are tailored to the specific requirements of this sector to ensure faultless safety.
Fire protection for professional kitchens
Small restaurants and large commercial kitchens all face specific fire risks associated with the use of fats, gases and electrical equipment. These risks can endanger people in the kitchen and in the catering area, damage the premises and lead to significant financial losses for the establishments. Drawing on our expertise in fire safety, we offer catering professionals tailor-made solutions to protect their establishments and guarantee business continuity.
The challenges of fire protection in the catering sector
In professional kitchens, the risk of fire is high.
Use of fats
Grease accumulates in cooker hoods, ducts and cooking equipment. These flammable substances increase the risk of fire and spread rapidly if a fire starts.
Electrical equipment
Catering establishments use electrical equipment on a daily basis. Over time, this equipment can overheat or create short circuits, which can lead to fires.
Use of gas
Kitchens generally use gas. It is therefore not uncommon to have gas leaks or poor combustion.
These risks can have dramatic consequences, causing violent fires that spread rapidly, damaging equipment and leading to the temporary or permanent closure of the establishment.
Example of application
Imagine a professional kitchen equipped with a cooking hood. Grease gradually accumulates in the hood ducts, increasing the risk of a fire spreading. It is therefore essential to be equipped with an automatic extinguishing system based on a clean agent directly in the hood. In the event of a fire starting, the system is triggered automatically, extinguishes the fire quickly and limits the damage.
