What Does Data Indicate About Restaurant Fires?

• Restaurant fires peaked between 10:00 and 11:00 in the morning, when most eateries prepare for lunch service.
• Peak days of the week for fires are Saturday, Sunday, and Thursday. Monday and Tuesday had the lowest fire risk.
• The leading cause of fires in restaurants, is cooking, accounting for 64 percent of fires. Heating and electrical failures were the second leading causes at seven percent each.
• While 68 percent of reported restaurant fires are limited to the object that ignited the flames, another 18 percent extended to the room of origin. The remainder, 14 percent, spread beyond the location in which the fire started.

SERVPRO techs can mitigate further damage from soot in hard-to-reach areas of your restaurant with dedicated, OSHA-approved antimicrobial solutions.

How Does SERVPRO Remove Tough Soot Stains From Restaurant Kitchens?

Light and dry soot deposits can often be removed with manual or wet cleaning, but tougher stains from kitchen grease fires may require heavy-duty solvents or alkaline cleaners. SERVPRO professionals can treat a soot-damaged stove with EPA-registered detergent to allow for water-based cleaning solutions to take effect. The detergent can act as an intermediary that helps water and oil to make contact through a chemical process called emulsion.
