We had a visit from the fire inspector today to test our new kitchen hood/fire suppression system.  If there is a fire in the kitchen, which there wont be, but if there was…the room would fill with blue foam, the power would cut out, the gas would shut off,  the air coming to the kitchen would shut off, and the air going out would increase, and the fire department would be alerted electronically. All within a 30th of a second! So no wonder this system is the most expensive thing in the restaurant. But it is my health and safety we are talking about so….

The fire inspector, who was very thorough watched as Jason from Alpha Systems Fire Control putt he system through it’s paces, using balloons to demonstrate the foam jet velocity.

And we passed the test! Fire inspection is done!
Plumbing Round II tomorrow, mechanical and electrical Monday. Tick, tick, tick….
