Gwangju Seobu Fire Station Urges Installation of Kitchen Automatic Fire Extinguishing Systems for Fire Prevention

On the 10th, the Gwangju Seobu Fire Station announced that it will promote commercial kitchen automatic fire extinguishing system facilities in group catering facilities and large-scale general restaurants.

According to the fire department, restaurant kitchens have a high risk of fire because frequent use of oil causes grease to adhere to hoods and ducts, and sparks during cooking can ignite these deposits. Additionally, internal fires occurring in commercial kitchen hoods and ducts are difficult to extinguish from the outside.

The kitchen automatic fire extinguishing system, which is effective in preventing kitchen fires, is installed on the kitchen ceiling where the risk of fire is high. It automatically sprays extinguishing agents to suppress the fire when a fire occurs.

The commercial kitchen automatic fire extinguishing system is a device installed in commercial kitchens, not in household cooking facilities. It detects fires caused by the use of cooking equipment, issues an alarm, cuts off the heat source, and suppresses the fire.

A fire official stated, "Restaurant kitchens have many risk factors due to frequent use of oil, so constant caution is necessary," and added, "Since commercial kitchen automatic fire extinguishing systems are very effective in early fire suppression, we hope many will be installed."
