Fire Suppression in Food Trucks: What You're Required to Have

Food Truck Engineering

Code requirements, system options, and what inspectors look for when certifying a mobile kitchen for operation.

Mobile kitchens face the same code requirements as brick-and-mortar restaurants, often with tighter space constraints. Fire suppression, ventilation, and gas systems must be designed for the vehicle and certified before you serve your first customer.

In our work with restaurant owners and facility managers across Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, and the broader Front Range, questions about fire suppression in food trucks: what you're required to have 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.
