The Healthcare Risk

Every year, nursing homes, memory care facilities, and residential care facilities report hundreds of fires—most caused by everyday cooking. Staff, and residents often use residential-style appliances in staff break rooms, housing, 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.
