"Install Automatic Fire Suppression Systems in Restaurant Kitchens"

On the 25th, Gwangju Gwangsan Fire Station urged the installation of commercial kitchen automatic fire extinguishing systems in cafeterias, large stores, and general restaurants.

Restaurant kitchens have a high risk of fire due to grease buildup on hoods and ducts, and if a fire occurs in the exhaust system, the flames are not visible from the outside, making initial firefighting difficult.

If a 'commercial kitchen automatic fire extinguishing system' that automatically detects fires and releases extinguishing agents is installed, damage can be minimized. From December 1st, installation will be mandatory.
