The average annual cost of fire damage in food and beverage establishments is around $246 million per year. Direct property damage per fire was 75% lower when a wet pipe sprinkler system was present, compared to fires with no automatic extinguishing equipment present. While Fires are less common during the overnight hours (from Midnight to 6 a.m.) they can cause more property damage since the fire can go unnoticed for significantly longer. The following are the statistics on the cause of fires in eating establishments:

  • Cooking equipment 57%
  • Heating equipment 10%
  • Electrical/Lighting equipment 7%
  • Smoking material 7%
  • Intentional 5%
