The Campus Fire Safety Risk

Every year, colleges and universities report hundreds of dormitory fires—most caused by everyday cooking. Students, staff, and faculty often use residential-style appliances in dorm suites, staff lounges, or multipurpose kitchens that were never built with restaurant-level suppression in mind.

Good to Know:

UL300 (commercial) suppression systems are not tested for these spaces. UL300A systems are. That “A” is critical.

Purpose-built protection

Denlar’s fully integrated fire suppression hoods are engineered and listed to UL300A standards—specifically for electric coil, gas, glass top, and induction ranges used in:

🏫 Dormitories & student apartments
