domestic kitchen fire suppression

The kitchen is one of the most common locations for fires within the home. Cooking oils, fats, unattended appliances, and high cooking temperatures can all contribute to fires that develop rapidly and cause significant damage to property and put lives at risk.

At Argos Fire Protection, we supply, install, commission, service, and maintain Ceasefire Domestic Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems, providing homeowners, landlords, developers, housing associations, and supported living providers with an additional layer of fire protection. As an Approved Ceasefire Distributor, we offer professionally designed and installed systems that automatically detect and suppress kitchen fires before they can escalate into a major incident.

Designed specifically for residential kitchens, these systems provide automatic 24-hour protection, helping to safeguard occupants, reduce property damage, and minimise disruption following a fire.

How domestic kitchen fire suppression works

Ceasefire domestic kitchen suppression systems are designed to detect and suppress a fire automatically without requiring any human intervention.

A heat-sensitive detection system is installed within the cooker hood area. If a fire occurs, the system activates automatically and discharges the extinguishing agent directly onto the source of the fire. The suppressant quickly cools the flames, suppresses the fire, and helps prevent re-ignition, limiting fire spread and damage.

Because the system operates automatically, protection is available around the clock, even when occupants are asleep, away from the property, or unable to respond quickly to a developing fire.

Suppression technologies

Water mist systems use ultra-fine water droplets to cool the fire and surrounding surfaces rapidly. The mist helps suppress flames while minimising water usage and reducing potential damage to kitchen fittings, appliances, and surrounding finishes.

Wet chemical systems are specifically designed to tackle fires involving cooking oils and fats. The suppressant cools the fire while creating a protective layer over the fuel surface, helping to prevent re-ignition and achieve rapid extinguishment.
