Protect Your Kitchen Fast and Cleanly
Kitchen fires spread in seconds and commercial insurers demand wet chemical suppression. C4 Fire & Security designs and installs kitchen hood fire suppression systems for restaurants, hotels, hospitals and industrial canteens across the Western Cape.
Insurance Compliant
Commercial property insurers require wet chemical suppression over cooking equipment. Protect your kitchen and your policy.
Automatic Activation
The system detects dangerous temperatures and activates automatically, suppressing fire even when the kitchen is unattended.
Cooking Oil Specialist
Wet chemical agents are specifically designed for Class F fires (cooking oils and fats), the most common kitchen fire source.
Commercial Kitchen Hood Suppression
C4 Fire & Security installs wet chemical kitchen fire suppression systems that detect and suppress fires in extraction hoods, ducts, fryers and cooking surfaces. Our systems use potassium-based wet chemical agents that cool burning oil below its auto-ignition temperature and create a foam blanket that prevents re-ignition.
