Which of the following is not a requirement for a fire suppression system in a commercial kitchen?

  1. Automatic shut-off valves

  2. Fire extinguishers

  3. Sprinklers above cooking equipment

  4. Hood suppression system

The correct answer is: Fire extinguishers

A fire suppression system in a commercial kitchen is designed to quickly and effectively put out any potential fires to ensure the safety of the building and its occupants. This system typically includes automatic shut-off valves, sprinklers above cooking equipment, and a hood suppression system. These features work together to detect and contain any fire that may start in the kitchen. Option B, fire extinguishers, while beneficial in a kitchen setting, is not a requirement for a fire suppression system. Fire extinguishers can still be useful as additional fire safety measures, but they are not the primary means of suppression in a commercial kitchen. Therefore, the other options are incorrect because they are all necessary components of a fire suppression system in a commercial kitchen.
