Kitchen suppression systems fail more restaurant inspections than almost anything else we test.

Grease buildup, blocked nozzles, and shifted equipment are the most common culprits, and they're easy to miss when you're running a busy kitchen.

Under the BC Fire Code, commercial suppression systems must be inspected every 6 months. If it's been half a year or more since your last certified inspection, now is the time to get ahead of it before a local fire inspector flags your kitchen.

Most businesses juggle three or four vendors just to stay compliant across their fire systems.

One company handles inspections. Another handles the alarm system. A third handles suppression installation. By the time something needs fixing, nobody agrees on whose responsibility it actually was.

We built Radius Fire so you would only need one team. Inspections, installations, monitoring, and training, all handled by the people who already know your building.

When an emergency alarm sounds, panic is a terrible leader.

You do not want your team looking at each other wondering who is in charge of what. Giving your staff clear, pre-assigned roles is how you cut through the initial chaos and get everyone out of the building safely.

Assigning a dedicated Floor Warden, a Searcher, and an Assembly Captain transforms an unpredictable evacuation into a coordinated, calm exit.
Swipe through to see exactly what each role is responsible for.

A fire alarm inspection is not just someone pushing a test button and walking out.

Our technicians check the control panel, test individual devices like pull stations and smoke detectors, verify the battery backup actually holds a charge, and confirm everything is documented the way your local fire code requires.

Skipping any one of those steps is how a building ends up with a system that looks fine on paper but fails when it's actually needed.

Painters can sometimes leave overspray on sprinkler heads. It happens. But even a micro-thin layer of dried paint can affect the heat-sensitive glass bulb inside a sprinkler. That layer can delay automatic activation, allowing a small flame to grow into a catastrophic fire before the system responds.

Our Radius Fire technicians inspect for overspray, corrosion, and physical glass damage during every scheduled audit. If we find painted sprinkler heads, we safely replace them for you.

Here are 3 quick checks for your facility team this week:

1. Clear all door stops, wedges, and temporary props to maintain a clear, unobstructed egress path at least 1,100 mm (43") wide.
2. Test that stairwell doors self-close and latch completely on their own.
3. Verify hold-open magnets release properly during monthly fire alarm tests.

Here's 4 steps to follow when doing your monthly fire extinguisher checks!

1. Ensure the needle on your pressure gauge rests firmly in the green zone. A needle in the red means the unit is under-pressurized or over-pressurized and needs professional service.

2. Look closely at the bottom seams of the cylinder for rust and corrosion. In damp environments like commercial kitchens, loading docks, and unheated parking garages, moisture damages metal cylinders long before annual tags expire.

3. Inspect the hose and nozzle for cracks, dry rot, or debris blockages. Pests frequently block nozzles in outdoor and parkade units, preventing chemical discharge.

4. Confirm the safety pin is firmly in place and the plastic tamper seal is intact. A missing pin or broken seal means the unit may have been tampered with or discharged

Is your building ready for its next fire inspection?

These are the 5 core areas to check and questions to ask on your next walkthrough:

1. Detection Systems: Are your smoke alarms under 10 years old and CO detectors under 7 years old?

2. Portable Extinguishers: Is your fire extinguisher free from rust and corrosion? Did you check the bottom and seams?

3. Sprinkler Clearance: Are your storage racks keeping a mandatory 18-inch clear space below sprinkler heads?

4. Egress & Emergency Lighting: Are your stairwells and corridors completely free of clutter?

5. Safety Plans & Training: Has your fire safety plan been updated to reflect recent building layout shifts or staff changes?

We'll help you run these checks. Book your fire safety check with Radius Fire: radiusfire.com/contact

We are officially over halfway through 2026, which means that annual fire drill is probably still gathering dust on your to-do list.

Now is the absolute sweet spot to get this checked off. Your tenants will actually cooperate when they do not have to brave a freezing wind, and you can easily spot real bottlenecks when the exit paths are clear.

Remember, a fire safety plan is just a piece of paper until your people actually know the drill. Literally.

Our safety specialists take the headache out of the entire process. We script the scenario, coordinate the evacuation, and update your physical safety plans so your building stays compliant without the stress.

Let our team run your next drill before the frost sets in. Book your session today: https://www.radiusfire.com/contact
