Food Truck Fire Suppression Systems
Every restaurant kitchen must have a fire suppression system installed for safety purposes. The same holds true for food trucks, which are just as susceptible to kitchen fires and explosions as brick-and-mortar establishments. Food truck fire suppression systems often mirror what standard restaurants use because they share many of the same fire hazards. They’re simply tailored to fit comfortably and safely within a food truck’s smaller square footage.
While regulations vary according to local jurisdictions, most local and state governments have requirements surrounding fire safety features for commercial food enterprises.
For nearly 40 years, Hiller has been the leading provider of fire protection services. If you own or operate a food truck, we can help with all your fire protection needs.
Due to the rapid growth in the popularity of food trucks, The National Fire Protection Association has created food truck fire safety requirements that every food truck owner needs to follow.
Benefits of Food Truck Fire Suppression
Food truck kitchen fire suppression systems are designed to contain and extinguish fires. When a fire occurs, fire suppressant chemicals are distributed around the truck’s interior, and the electrical power is shut off to avoid further combustion and damage.
Equipping your food truck with fire safety equipment, including portable fire extinguishers, is a crucial investment in both safety and your brand, ensuring employees and customers feel safe when visiting your weekly spot.
We recommend maintaining Class K fire extinguishers within arm’s reach in the kitchen and training all personnel in how to operate them. Quick response with a fire extinguisher can often manage a minor fire before the fire suppression system is triggered, saving you time and cleanup while increasing the service life of your system.
Food Truck Fire Suppression Services We Provide
Hiller’s complete line of commercial kitchen fire suppression services includes:
Food Truck Fire Suppression Design & Installation
While no two food trucks are precisely alike, they have one thing in common: They’re much smaller than traditional restaurants. This means they need design and installation services from a company that understands the unique challenges of these compact kitchens.
Hiller will design a fire suppression system to your food truck’s unique specifications and install it quickly and efficiently.
Food Truck Suppression Maintenance
Properly maintained food truck fire suppression systems effectively extinguish fires 96% of the time. Unfortunately, NFPA research shows that nearly 45% of fire suppression system failures are due to a lack of maintenance.
Hiller provides food truck fire suppression system maintenance to ensure your equipment is always prepared in case of a fire.
Food Truck Fire Suppression Inspection & Testing
Hiller’s fire safety experts provide semiannual inspections of your food truck’s fire suppression components, including suppression tanks and nozzles, interlocks, fusible links, controls, and more.
