Washington DC Kitchen Fire Suppression Inspectors
Washington DC, DC
3 licensed inspectors found
Washington DC commercial kitchens must keep kitchen fire-suppression systems inspected and tagged on the NFPA 17A/96 six-month cycle. DC FEMS enforcement is separate from hood cleaning — a degreasing invoice does not replace the suppression tag.
Inspectors serving District kitchens are often factory-trained technicians working under contractors based in Maryland or Northern Virginia. HoodInspect does not invent a District-only kitchen-suppression license. Confirm whatever credential a company publishes with the issuing board and with DC FEMS before you hire. Find Washington DC inspectors below, including Ansul and Kidde shops, or read the six-month tag guide.

- No. Hood cleaning is a different trade. Suppression inspection and tagging is done by factory-trained technicians, often working under Maryland or Northern Virginia contractors who serve District kitchens.
