Fire Safety

Fire Authority

Municipal Fire Departments / Navajo County Fire Districts / Arizona State Fire Marshal

Show Low, Holbrook, and Winslow have their own fire departments. White Mountain area relies on a mix of municipal and volunteer fire districts. Tribal land fire safety may fall under tribal authority.

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. Wildfire risk in the White Mountains makes kitchen fire safety especially critical.

Suppression Inspection

UL-300 wet chemical systems required. Service providers available in Show Low and via Flagstaff.

  • 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
