Being in the hospitality industry means being responsible for many guests, visitors, and diners. You need complete confidence in your customers’ safety so you can concentrate on making sure they enjoy their visit, and so your business can grow and thrive.
For over 40 years, Fire Systems of Michigan has met the industry-specific fire protection needs of hotels, resorts, and restaurants. You can depend on us to protect your guests, staff, and property from a fire.
Why Is Fire Protection Crucial for Hotels & Restaurants?
Protecting your hotel or restaurant against fire is more than protecting real estate and physical assets. Ensuring your facility has effective fire protection is essential for protecting guests from serious injury and death and minimizing disruption to daily operations.
One fire is all it takes to end your business and extinguish the years of hard work and the financial resources you’ve invested in building your brand.
On average, NFPA records show that roughly one in every 12 hotels experiences a structure fire, and nearly 8,000 restaurant fires are reported in the U.S. annually. From open flames and hot equipment to faulty electrical systems, there’s no shortage of potential threats that can quickly destroy your business.
When you operate a hotel or a restaurant, it’s essential to keep your guard up and ensure you have the systems required to stop a fire before it can burn the future of your business to the ground.

Hotel & Restaurant Fire Protection FAQs
What are the most common fire hazards in hotels and restaurants?
Hotels and restaurants have several potential fire hazards that require special handling and care. Some of the most common sources of fire in these facilities include electrical faults, faulty appliances, smoking, cooking activity, and improper storage of combustible materials, including cleaning agents and flammable inventory.
How can I ensure my hotel or restaurant complies with Michigan fire safety regulations?
We strongly recommend performing periodic fire safety audits of your facility. This includes close monitoring of NFPA 1, NFPA 101, NFPA 13, NFPA 25, the International Fire Code, and any applicable state and local codes.
Scheduling routine inspections will ensure your facility has the required sprinklers, testing, and life safety equipment installed and properly maintained to ensure code compliance.
How often should fire protection systems be inspected in hotels and restaurants?
Quarterly fire safety inspections are essential for ensuring your systems are in good working order and capable of providing the required protection. These inspections include wet chemical kitchen systems, water flow, fire pumps, alarms, etc.
However, this is just a start. You should inspect fire sprinklers every quarter, test the water flow switch every six months, and inspect the interior of sprinkler piping on all sprinkler systems every five years.
