The specialists in automatic kitchen fire suppression systems in Montreal and the surrounding region
Is your kitchen truly protected in the event of a fire? Have you ever thought about what would happen if a fire broke out in your range hood while you’re in the middle of a busy shift? Does your team know how to respond? And most importantly, is your equipment designed to stop a fire before you even have time to intervene?
In a kitchen environment, whether high-end residential, commercial, or industrial, the risk of fire is ever-present. Flames, accumulated grease, high temperatures, and live electrical equipment create a dangerous combination. A single uncontrolled incident can endanger lives, equipment, and years of work.
At Extincteurs Nationex, we offer automatic kitchen fire suppression solutions in Montreal tailored to all types of clients. We serve the entire Greater Montreal area as well as the following regions: Laval, Longueuil, Repentigny, Quebec City, the Outaouais, and the Estrie.
How does an automatic kitchen fire suppression system work?
An automatic kitchen fire suppression system is designed to detect and extinguish a fire at its source without requiring any human intervention. It is installed directly in the range hood or above high-risk equipment: deep fryers, grills, woks, ovens, and griddles.
As soon as the temperature exceeds a critical threshold, the system activates automatically. It releases a fire-suppressing agent that smothers the flames and cools hot surfaces to prevent reignition. Simultaneously, the gas and electrical supply to the affected appliances is automatically shut off.
The result: the fire is stopped in its tracks, staff are protected, and property damage is minimized.
Fire suppression system installation
Our installers are trained in accordance with NFPA 96 standards (Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations), the industry benchmark for kitchen fire protection. The installation is carried out in compliance with Quebec’s current building codes, and an installation report is provided to you upon completion of the work.
All components : nozzles, extinguishing agent tanks, thermal triggers, and shut-off valves, are precisely installed to ensure complete coverage of every high-risk area.
Mandatory periodic inspection
Quebec regulations require your fire suppression system to be inspected at least twice a year. These inspections are not optional: they are a requirement to maintain your insurance coverage and remain in compliance with the relevant authorities.
Our technicians perform a comprehensive check of all system components: integrity of the ductwork, extinguishing agent charge, condition of the nozzles and triggers, and proper functioning of the shut-off mechanisms. An inspection certificate is issued to you at each visit.
System maintenance and recharge
After a system activation, whether due to an actual fire or a test, the system must be reconfigured and recharged before it can be put back into service. Nationex handles this rapid restoration to minimize disruptions to your operations.
We also offer customized maintenance contracts tailored to your kitchen’s usage frequency and your contractual or insurance obligations.
