Fire Safety
Fire Authority
Apache County Fire Districts / Arizona State Fire Marshal
Apache County relies on volunteer fire departments and rural fire districts for local fire safety enforcement. The Arizona State Fire Marshal provides oversight for commercial kitchen fire suppression systems and code enforcement.
Hood Cleaning Standard
NFPA 96 Table 12.4 sets the interval by what the kitchen cooks: monthly for solid fuel, quarterly for high-volume cooking, semiannually for moderate volume, annually for low-volume or seasonal cooking. Dry climate and wood-heated buildings create elevated fire risk.
Suppression Inspection
UL-300 wet chemical systems required for commercial cooking hoods. Semi-annual inspection and certification required. Limited fire protection service providers in the area — schedule inspections well in advance.
- UL-300 wet chemical suppression system required in all commercial cooking hoods
- Semi-annual suppression system inspection and certification
- Hood and duct cleaning per NFPA 96 schedule
- K-class portable fire extinguisher within 30 feet of cooking equipment
