Fire Suppression Systems
Protecting Commercial Kitchens When Seconds Matter
GSS Fire installs, inspects, services, and maintains commercial fire suppression systems throughout Southern Vermont and Eastern New York.
Our focus includes restaurant and commercial kitchen suppression, with systems designed to automatically detect and suppress cooking fires before they spread into the hood, ductwork, or surrounding buildings.
Commercial Fire Suppression
Modern kitchen fire suppression systems use a wet chemical agent specifically designed for commercial cooking fires. When activated, the system releases the agent over protected cooking equipment, helping extinguish the fire and prevent it from reigniting.
GSS Fire works with leading commercial kitchen suppression systems, including ANSUL, Kidde, ProTex II, Pyro-Chem, and Lehavot WCK.
GSS Fire installs and services fire suppression systems for:
Restaurants and commercial kitchens
Bars and cafés
Schools and institutional kitchens
Hospitals and healthcare facilities
Food trucks and mobile kitchens
Other commercial cooking operations
New Installations & Existing Hoods
Whether you are building a new kitchen or upgrading an existing one, GSS Fire can design and install the appropriate suppression system for your cooking equipment and hood configuration.
We install suppression systems as part of complete new hood projects as well as retrofit systems into existing commercial kitchen hoods.
Through GSS Fire and our metal fabrication capabilities, we can also design and install Type I and Type II hood systems, ductwork, exhaust, makeup air, and fire suppression for new commercial kitchen installations.
Type I Hoods are used over equipment that produces grease and smoke and require an appropriate fire suppression system.
Type II Hoods are typically used for heat, steam, and condensation where grease-laden vapors are not present.
Inspection, Testing & Service
Installing the system is only the beginning. Commercial kitchen suppression systems require recurring inspection and maintenance to help ensure they remain operational and compliant.
GSS Fire provides semiannual fire suppression inspections, system testing, maintenance, repairs, cylinder service, nozzle and component replacement, and documentation.
Already have a system installed? We can inspect and service existing systems and help identify maintenance or compliance issues before they become bigger problems.
One Company for the Kitchen
Fire suppression is only one part of protecting a commercial kitchen. GSS Fire can also handle your fire extinguishers, kitchen exhaust cleaning, hood and duct systems, and recurring inspections — giving you one local team to help keep your kitchen protected and operating.
