Military Kitchen Hood Cleaning & Fire Prevention

DFACs, galleys, base exchanges, and officer clubs never stop feeding the mission. Facilitec Southwest delivers background-cleared, protocol-driven NFPA 96 hood cleaning to military installations across TX, OK, LA, NM & AR — on time, on record, and inspection-ready.

Feeding the Mission Can't Stop for a Grease Fire

Military dining facilities run on timing that civilian restaurants never face — early chow, continuous ops, deployment rotations, and field exercises all converge on one kitchen line. A single exhaust fire or suppression discharge can shut down a DFAC for days, ripple into unit readiness, and trigger command-level review. Facilitec Southwest keeps base kitchens clean, compliant, and online — with crews that understand the protocol, the paperwork, and the chain of command.

Why Base Kitchens Are Different

Regular hood cleaning dramatically reduces your risk by keeping flammable grease out of the exhaust system and ensuring your suppression system can perform properly during an emergency.
