What to Do When Your Fire Suppression System Discharges

Fire Suppression

Step-by-step guidance on how to respond to an accidental or emergency discharge — and how to get your kitchen back online as fast as possible.

Kitchen fire suppression systems must meet UL-300 standards and integrate with your hood, gas shutoffs, and inspection schedule. A compliant system is not optional — it is a condition of operating a commercial kitchen in Colorado.

In our work with restaurant owners and facility managers across Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, and the broader Front Range, questions about what to do when your fire suppression system discharges come up on nearly every project. Planning ahead — and understanding what inspectors and engineers will look for — saves time and avoids change orders after construction is underway.
