Why Every Food Truck Needs a Fire Suppression System (and How to Get One Installed?)

November 06, 2025

Running a food truck means more than serving up great eats — it also means keeping your kitchen-on-wheels safe. Mobile kitchens face unique fire risks from fryers, griddles, and other high-heat cooking equipment in tight spaces. A single flare-up can quickly escalate, putting your staff, customers, and investment at risk.

That's why a fire suppression system for food trucks isn't just recommended — it's required by code in most areas.

With HoodMart, you'll find UL300-listed fire suppression systems designed specifically for food trucks and concession trailers. These systems provide dependable, automatic fire protection while helping you stay compliant with NFPA and local fire codes.

Why Fire Suppression is Essential for Food Trucks

Small space, big risks: In a food truck, heat and grease build up quickly. Without proper protection, a minor fire can spread fast.
Code compliance: Fire marshals require food trucks to have a suppression system before opening for business. UL300 wet chemical systems are the gold standard.
24/7 protection: HoodMart's Kidde^® and Ansul^® systems are designed to detect and suppress fires within seconds — even when your truck isn't staffed.
Peace of mind: With automatic fire detection and quick flame knockdown, you can focus on cooking and serving customers, knowing your business is protected.
