Fire Safety Risks

in Restaurants

From the hot flames to the grease hood, the restaurant industry has a higher risk of fire than ordinary commercial buildings. Consider the top causes of restaurant fires as stated in the NFPA’s report on structure fires in eating and drinking establishments:

Cooking Equipment

There’s no doubt about it—the commercial kitchen is by far the most significant fire hazard in any restaurant. The vast majority of restaurant fires (61%) start here, and they also cause the most property damage (38%). High temperatures, open flames, flammable cooking oil, and the hectic nature of a commercial kitchen all combine to make the perfect conditions for a fire to ignite.

Deep fryers are to blame for 21% of restaurant fires, making them the single most likely source of a blaze. Ranges and cooktops are the second most likely culprits, responsible for a combined 14% of fires.

While nearly two-thirds of blazes break out in the kitchen, this isn’t the only fire risk in your restaurant. Other possible sources of ignition include:

Electrical and lighting equipment (9%)

Heating equipment (9%)

Smoking materials (7%)

Arson (4%)
