ACE Fire Protection announces fire extinguisher service initiative for Brooklyn restaurants

ACE Fire Protection announced a restaurant-focused fire extinguisher service initiative in Brooklyn and across New York City ahead of the summer dining season.

Brooklyn, United States, June 18, 2026 — BROOKLYN, NY — ACE Fire Protection announced a restaurant-focused fire extinguisher service initiative this summer for Brooklyn restaurants and other hospitality operators across New York City, highlighting inspection readiness in dining rooms, bars, service corridors, and commercial kitchens as businesses prepare for higher occupancy and seasonal staffing changes. The effort centers on fire extinguisher service scheduling, documentation, and equipment checks tied to city compliance requirements before peak summer traffic increases operational demands.

The announcement comes as restaurants across the city prepare for expanded outdoor seating, larger weekend crowds, and staff turnover that can complicate routine safety checks. In New York City, fire extinguisher inspections are governed in part by 3 RCNY Section 115-02, while national maintenance standards are set by NFPA 10, the National Fire Protection Association standard for portable fire extinguishers. ACE Fire Protection said the seasonal initiative is intended to help operators review whether extinguishers are accessible, correctly placed, properly tagged, and suited to kitchen and front-of-house hazards.

Restaurants face distinct fire risks because public-facing areas and kitchens require different extinguisher coverage and documentation practices. Class K extinguishers are typically used for commercial cooking equipment involving oils and fats, while multipurpose ABC extinguishers are commonly placed in general business areas. The National Fire Protection Association reports that cooking is the leading cause of restaurant fires, making regular fire extinguisher service and maintenance a practical concern for hospitality operators entering a busy service period.

“Summer can place added pressure on restaurant operations, especially when businesses are training new staff and serving more guests each day,” said Jack Shammah, Owner of ACE Fire Protection. “This initiative is meant to focus attention on basic readiness steps so operators can confirm their fire extinguisher service records, equipment placement, and kitchen coverage before the season is fully underway.”

ACE Fire Protection said the initiative will emphasize monthly visual checks by on-site personnel, annual professional maintenance, and the review of service records, which may be requested during inspections or insurance audits. The company also noted that recharging, hydrostatic testing, and replacement scheduling may be necessary for some units depending on age, condition, and prior use. The effort applies to single-location restaurants as well as multi-unit hospitality groups operating across the five boroughs.

ACE Fire Protection said its restaurant outreach will focus on practical compliance questions, including whether extinguishers remain unobstructed during layout changes, whether inspection tags are current, and whether kitchen units match the hazards present.
