Los Angeles Fire Protection Company Uses Recent Fire as Reason to Have Suppression Systems in Place

Jan. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- LOS ANGELES AND PLACENTIA, CALIFORNIA- Fire damage to a Eureka, California restaurant Dec. 26 might have been less extensive, had there been an operable fire suppression system, according to a Los Angeles fire protection company.

Fire erupted at the Yen Ching Chinese Restaurant and damaged the first floor, according to a Times-Standard article. Smoke damaged the second and third floors, which were either empty or used for storage.

Damage estimates are $100,000 in contents and $150,000 in structural damage, the article stated. Eureka Fire Department representative said the fire could have been extinguished, had an automatic fire sprinkler system been installed.

"This restaurant owner probably would face a portion of the damage they have now if they were proactive and installed a fire suppression system," said Massoud Farazandeh, Nationwide Fire Protection Corporation's general manager. Nationwide is a Los Angeles fire sprinkler system (http://www.nationwidefireprotection.com/) installer that opened a Placentia fabrication facility in 2009 to meet the demand for fire sprinkler system jobs throughout California. "Instead, the owners face a few months of repairs before they can reopen."

Restaurant fire suppression systems are built to immediately identify and extinguish fire, Farazandeh said. They are credited with saving millions of dollars in damages to restaurants annually.

"It's a shame to see restaurants without these valuable systems," he said. "Sadly, some are grandfathered in and aren’t required to have them."
Farazandeh uses unfortunate incidents such as this to educate restaurant owners on the importance of having a suppression system.

"A common argument is that they can't afford a fire suppression system," a general manager of Los Angeles fire protection company(http://www.nationwidefireprotection.com/services/index.php) said. "My argument is that they likely can’t afford to lose their business to a fire."
