Frequently Asked Questions
What is NFPA 96?+
NFPA 96 is the National Fire Protection Association's standard for ventilation control and fire protection of commercial cooking operations — it's the code that sets cleaning frequency, inspection, and fire-suppression requirements for kitchen exhaust systems.
How often should I check in on exhaust safety topics?+
A quick read each time you schedule a cleaning is plenty for most owners. We add new case studies and guides as incidents and code updates come up, so a skim a couple times a year keeps you current.
Are the case studies based on real incidents?+
Yes — each case study is based on real, publicly reported kitchen fire incidents, used here to show what goes wrong when exhaust systems aren't properly maintained.
