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, 12.6 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.

  • UL-300 wet chemical suppression system required in all commercial cooking hoods
  • Semi-annual suppression system inspection and certification
