Installation of Hood Fire Suppression Systems

Installation of fire suppression system over stove in one of our new properties in Cuyahoga County.

Fire departments in the United States respond to a fire emergency every 19 seconds and 80% of all fire related deaths occur in home fires. People with disabilities are considered at high risk in fire emergencies, for their awareness and judgment capabilities can limit their ability to take timely and effective life saving action. These hood fire suppression systems will help put out a kitchen fire before it gets too big to handle.
