What to do in case of a fire in an industrial kitchen: ANSUL R-102 to the rescue

In industrial kitchens, where hot oils, grease, and high temperatures combine with powerful equipment, the risk of fire is always present. Having an effective system to control and suppress fires is not optional—it’s a necessity. This is where the ANSUL R-102 system comes into play: the ultimate solution to protect your staff, facilities, and business.

What is the ANSUL R-102?

The ANSUL R-102 is a fire suppression system specifically designed for kitchen appliances, exhaust hoods (new or existing), and ducts in restaurants. This system includes a regulated release mechanism and a liquid agent storage cylinder housed in a compact, secure cabinet.

When a fire is detected, the ANSUL R-102 system automatically or manually releases a liquid agent that quickly extinguishes flames and prevents the fire from spreading. This agent is specially formulated to combat kitchen fires, including those caused by grease and oils.

What to do in case of a fire?

Although the ANSUL R-102 is designed to act immediately, it is important to know how to respond to a fire in an industrial kitchen:

• Evacuate the staff: People’s safety always comes first. Ensure everyone leaves the danger area in an orderly manner.
• Activate the ANSUL R-102 system: If the system doesn’t activate automatically, use the manual release to deploy the suppressant agent.
• Turn off the equipment: Shut off the gas and electricity supply in the affected area to minimize additional risks.
• Contact emergency services: Report the fire and follow their instructions.
• Verify the extinction: Once the fire is under control, inspect the area to ensure no active hot spots remain.
