TV Chef's Kitchen Fire - Grease in Ductwork?
« Back to blog home13 Feb 2012 by Indepth Hygiene | 2 comments
Although it is far too early for the Fire & Rescue Authorities to have provided a detailed report on the fire at Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s restaurant and events barn on Wednesday 8th February 2012, there is no doubt that its spread from the kitchen area to other parts of the property resulted in widespread destruction. It has all the hallmarks of a fire which starts in the kitchen and ignites grease deposits in the extract ducting which ensures the result of widespread destruction of adjoining buildings.
As a Fire Authority spokesman recently pointed out, one fire every nine days in catering / restaurant facilities is made more destructive and widespread because they quickly ignite any grease in uncleaned extract ducting.
It will be interesting to read the Fire Authorities’ report.
