Every year restaurant owners report over 5,600 claims related to kitchen fires totaling over $116 million in damages. If you own a restaurant, here are some key things you should know.

  • 63% of these fires are caused by cooking activities
  • Grease laden vapors, towels and rags pose the greatest risks
  • A kitchen fire can shut your business down for several months – do you have enough business interruption coverage?
  • Working with a loss prevention team can help you identify possible problems before they materialize. Most good carriers should be able to provide some assistance in this area.
