NFPA 96 Compliance Checklist

Don't Let a Grease Fire End Your Dream Overnight!

Imagine this: It's a busy Friday night. Your kitchen is humming, customers are happy, and your team is in the zone. Then, in an instant, a small spark ignites hidden grease buildup in your hood or ducts. Flames race through the exhaust system faster than anyone can react. Alarms blare, the suppression system may or may not activate properly, and within minutes, your livelihood—your restaurant, your family's future, years of hard work—is engulfed in chaos, smoke, and regret.

Commercial kitchen fires aren't rare. They're the leading cause of restaurant fires in the U.S., often resulting in devastating property damage, injuries, business closures, insurance nightmares, and heartbreaking loss. One failed inspection, one missed cleaning cycle, one overlooked fusible link—and everything you've built can vanish. The fear is real: What if the next fire marshal visit shuts you down? What if a preventable fire puts your employees, customers, or loved ones in danger?

But it doesn't have to be that way. Preparation isn't just compliance—it's peace of mind. It's protecting what matters most: your business, your people, your legacy.
