PLACENTIA AND LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — When people think of fire protection, their local fire department typically comes to mind.

But true fire protection begins not with the fire department, but with a quality fire suppression system that meets local, state and federal fire codes. Keeping abreast of those codes- or hiring a Riverside fire protection equipment company that does- is important to avoid relying on an outdated system in the unfortunate event of a fire.

There are two ways in which a restaurant or commercial kitchen fire suppression system can become outdated, said Massoud Farazandeh, who serves as general manager of Nationwide Fire Protection Corp., a Los Angeles and Riverside fire protection systems company. Although headquartered in Colorado, NFP opened a fabrication plant in Placentia in August 2009 to answer the call for Riverside sprinkler fire system and other services it offers throughout California.

PLACENTIA AND LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — When constructing a new restaurant, it is a good idea to select a company that can get the kitchen construction and fire protection portion of the project completed efficiently and in a streamlined fashion.

NFP has performed Bakersfield, CA fire alarm systems installation and restaurant kitchen construction since it was founded in 1989. It also services the entire state of California. (more…)

PLACENTIA, CALIFORNIA— Years ago when restaurants began upgrading to new, high-efficiency burners that resulted in higher heating rates of cooking oils, it became apparent that new standards for fire systems were warranted.

Underwriters Laboratories created those stricter standards in November 1994. Unfortunately, many restaurants today still have not upgraded their systems.

“These requirements were a welcome addition to fire systems companies such as mine because it increased safety in commercial kitchens,” said Massoud Farazandeh general manager of Nationwide Fire Protection Corp., which provides Bakersfield, CA fire systems service for restaurants, as well as fire protection services throughout California.

PLACENTIA, CALIFORNIA—Nationwide Fire Protection Corp. is finding new ways to save customers money on their Oakland fire systems and hood cleaning costs.
