Denver restaurants, bars, and institutional kitchens need a current NFPA 17A/96 six-month tag on the wet-chemical hood system. Denver Fire Department is the usual AHJ inside the city; other Front Range fire departments enforce the tag in their own jurisdictions. Hood cleaning does not certify discharge readiness.
Colorado does not use a Texas-style ECR kitchen-systems registry. Some listings publish a license number; some publish none. HoodInspect only shows what the company published. Verify those numbers with the issuing board and Denver Fire before you hire.
Denver listings include Ansul, Kidde, Range Guard, Pyro-Chem, and other UL 300 wet-chemical brands. Photograph the cylinder nameplate so the inspector knows which factory parts and fusible links to bring. Then schedule on the six-month cycle so the tag is current when Denver Fire walks the kitchen.
