#kitchen fire prevention

[mousestar369]

I'd really like 9-1-1 to do a call with a grease fire, or even just any situation involving one. Roughly half of all household fires are grease/oil fires, and it's really important to know how to deal with them.

For the record, to deal with a fire of this type:

DO. NOT. USE. WATER. This WILL make it worse. It will only spread the oil around. Example below.

If it's in a pan, find the lid to the pan and cover it to smother the fire.

If it's not in a pan or you don't have the lid, you can use baking soda (SPECIFICALLY baking soda). It can take a lot to work.

If you have one, you can use a Class K fire extinguisher (preferred) or a Class B fire extinguisher.

Reducing Fire Hazards: The Importance of Regular Hood Degreasing and Maintenance

Fire safety is a critical concern in any kitchen, especially in busy commercial settings. One of the best ways to minimize fire risks is through consistent kitchen exhaust hood cleaning and degreasing. Regular maintenance of the exhaust hood system removes built-up grease and contaminants, significantly reducing the chances of ignition and ensuring a safer workspace for everyone.

Why Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning is Essential for Fire Safety

In a bustling kitchen, the exhaust hood and ventilation system work constantly to filter out grease, smoke, and odors. Over time, grease can build up inside the hood, ducts, and filters, creating a potential fire hazard. Regular hood degreasing and kitchen exhaust cleaning help prevent this accumulation, keeping the system operating efficiently and safely. This maintenance is a vital part of any fire prevention strategy, especially for commercial kitchens.

The Importance of Regular Degreasing and Maintenance

Routine kitchen exhaust hood maintenance provides several advantages beyond just fire safety. It can extend the lifespan of your exhaust system and improve air quality within the kitchen. Here are some key reasons to prioritize regular hood cleaning and degreasing:

Minimized Fire Risks: Removing grease buildup reduces the chance of fires starting within the exhaust system.

Enhanced Airflow: A clean exhaust system allows for better ventilation, improving comfort for kitchen staff.

Energy Efficiency: Clean exhaust hoods operate more effectively, potentially reducing energy costs for your business.

Professional Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning Services

While some kitchen staff may try to handle cleaning themselves, hiring professional kitchen exhaust cleaning services ensures a more thorough and effective job. These experts have the tools and experience to clean every part of the exhaust system, including areas where grease tends to accumulate. This not only helps you comply with local fire codes but also gives you peace of mind, knowing your kitchen is safe.

Professional services can create a cleaning schedule tailored to your kitchen’s needs, whether it’s weekly, monthly, or quarterly maintenance. They also provide documentation of each cleaning, which is crucial for meeting regulatory requirements and maintaining insurance coverage.

Signs That Your Kitchen Exhaust Hood Needs Cleaning

Recognizing when your kitchen exhaust hood needs cleaning is vital for maintaining a safe kitchen. Here are some signs that it’s time to schedule a professional cleaning:

Visible grease or residue on the hood or filters

Smoke lingering in the kitchen longer than usual

Unusual noises or reduced airflow from the exhaust fan

Challenges in passing fire safety inspections

Addressing these signs quickly with thorough kitchen hood cleaning can prevent more serious issues and help keep your kitchen safe.

Protect Your Kitchen with Regular Exhaust Hood Cleaning

Routine kitchen exhaust hood cleaning and degreasing are essential for reducing fire hazards and ensuring the safety of your kitchen. By investing in professional cleaning services and maintaining a consistent schedule, you can protect your kitchen from fire risks, improve air quality, and keep your exhaust system functioning smoothly. Prioritizing regular cleaning not only ensures compliance with fire safety regulations but also creates a safer and more efficient kitchen for your staff and customers.

How to Spot Exhaust Hood Issues Before They Lead to Major Repairs

A properly maintained kitchen exhaust hood is essential for a safe and efficient commercial kitchen. Identifying early signs of trouble can help you avoid expensive kitchen exhaust hood repair in the future. From unusual noises to reduced airflow, knowing what to look for can keep your kitchen running smoothly and prevent larger issues from developing.

The Importance of Early Detection in Kitchen Exhaust Hood Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your kitchen exhaust hood is crucial for catching minor problems before they escalate. Addressing these issues early can prolong the lifespan of your exhaust system, enhance air quality, and reduce the risk of fire hazards. Early detection can also save time and money by preventing emergency kitchen hood repairs.

Key Warning Signs of Exhaust Hood Problems

Spotting issues early on can help you decide when it’s time for kitchen exhaust hood repair services. Here are some common warning signs that indicate your system may need attention:

Unusual Noises: Grinding, rattling, or other strange sounds from the exhaust fan can point to issues with the fan motor or bearings. These noises often indicate that parts are wearing out and may need repair or replacement.

Reduced Airflow: A well-functioning exhaust hood should effectively pull air out of the kitchen. If you notice a decrease in airflow, it could mean clogged filters or blocked ducts, which can restrict ventilation and require professional exhaust hood repair.

Visible Grease Accumulation: If grease is dripping from the edges of the exhaust hood, it signals excessive buildup inside. This can reduce the system's efficiency and increase fire risks, making immediate cleaning and repair essential.

Persistent Smoke and Odors: Lingering smoke and cooking odors in the kitchen may suggest that the exhaust hood is not working properly. This could be due to a failing fan or clogged filters that need attention.

What to Do When You Notice Exhaust Hood Issues

When you detect signs of trouble, it’s important to take swift action to avoid more costly kitchen exhaust hood repair needs. Here’s what you can do:

1. Inspect and Clean Filters

Begin by checking the filters for grease buildup. Cleaning or replacing dirty filters can restore airflow and improve ventilation. This is an easy first step before considering more extensive repairs.

2. Schedule Professional Inspections

If issues persist after cleaning, it may be time to call an exhaust hood repair company. Professional technicians can pinpoint underlying problems, such as motor issues or duct blockages, and provide comprehensive solutions.

DIY Maintenance vs. Professional Repair Services

Some maintenance tasks, like cleaning filters and checking for visible wear, can be handled in-house. However, more complex repairs, such as motor replacements or duct cleaning, require professional expertise. Choosing the right approach can save time and ensure the repairs are done correctly.

Keep Your Kitchen Safe with Proactive Maintenance

Regular maintenance and early detection are key to avoiding significant kitchen exhaust hood repair needs. By staying alert to unusual noises, reduced airflow, and other warning signs, you can maintain the efficiency of your kitchen’s ventilation system. Don’t let small issues become major problems—proactive maintenance helps ensure a safe and effective kitchen environment.

Why Addressing Grease Buildup is Critical for Fire Safety in Commercial Kitchens

Commercial kitchens are constantly exposed to high heat, open flames, and grease, making them particularly vulnerable to fire hazards. One of the most significant risks in these environments is the buildup of grease in exhaust hoods and ventilation systems. If not managed properly, this hidden danger can lead to devastating fires. In this article, we’ll explore why addressing grease buildup is essential for fire safety in every restaurant and how proper maintenance can prevent serious incidents.

How Grease Buildup Occurs

Every time food is cooked, especially when frying or grilling, tiny grease particles are released into the air. These particles are captured by the kitchen's exhaust system, where they gradually accumulate in the hood, filters, and ductwork. Over time, this buildup forms a thick, flammable layer of grease, creating a significant fire risk if not regularly cleaned.

In busy commercial kitchens, grease can accumulate quickly, often out of sight, which makes the risk even more dangerous. While exhaust hoods are designed to remove smoke and heat, they also trap grease, and without proper maintenance, this can become a recipe for disaster.

The Fire Hazards of Grease Buildup

Grease is highly flammable, and when it accumulates inside a kitchen's ventilation system, even a small flame or spark can ignite it. Once a grease fire starts, it can spread rapidly through the ductwork, reaching other areas of the building. These types of fires are notoriously difficult to extinguish and can cause extensive damage in a very short amount of time.

In addition to the physical dangers, grease fires put employees and customers at risk, leading to potential injuries, financial losses, and possible closure of the business. Fire prevention is crucial in ensuring that your restaurant remains a safe environment, and the first step in prevention is addressing grease buildup.

Preventing Grease Buildup with Regular Cleaning

The most effective way to prevent grease-related fires in commercial kitchens is through regular cleaning of the exhaust hood and ventilation system. Establishing a consistent cleaning schedule ensures that grease doesn’t accumulate to dangerous levels. For high-volume kitchens, exhaust systems may need cleaning every month, while other kitchens can maintain safety with quarterly cleanings.

By investing in regular cleaning, you are not only reducing fire hazards but also improving the efficiency of the ventilation system. A clean exhaust hood helps maintain better airflow, reducing heat and odors in the kitchen while also lowering energy costs.

The Role of Professional Cleaning Services

While in-house staff can handle surface cleaning, professional cleaning services are essential for thoroughly addressing grease buildup in hard-to-reach areas like ductwork and fans. Professional cleaners use specialized equipment to remove grease deposits from every part of the exhaust system, ensuring it’s safe and compliant with fire safety standards.

Hiring professionals also provides peace of mind. They can inspect your system for potential issues, keep detailed cleaning records, and ensure that your restaurant meets local safety codes and regulations, reducing your liability in the event of an incident.

Fire Code Compliance and Liability

Many local fire codes require commercial kitchens to maintain their exhaust systems regularly, and failure to do so can result in penalties, fines, or worse—shut down of the business. Additionally, insurance policies often mandate proof of regular cleaning in order to cover potential fire damage. By complying with these regulations, you protect your business from both legal and financial consequences.

Proper exhaust system maintenance also demonstrates a commitment to safety, which is vital for building trust with both customers and employees.

Conclusion

Grease buildup is a hidden but severe fire hazard in commercial kitchens, and addressing it is essential for maintaining a safe and compliant environment. By investing in regular exhaust hood cleaning and working with professional services, restaurants can significantly reduce the risk of fire, protect their property, and ensure the safety of everyone involved. Don’t overlook the importance of proper maintenance—keeping your kitchen clean means keeping it safe.

Ah! You’ve awoken, my lo-yes, I am using your laptop. Hush now and listen. I have installed this charming little game application called The Sims! I have made digital avatars of us and all of our friends that live in your computer. And- oh, yes. That’s a modification I’ve made to the game that allows us to do it on the dining room table while Louis watches, beloved. Isn’t it wonderful? Look, Claudia is on fire. Daniel, don’t fuss. I assure you it was due to an ill fated kitchen accident. I could not have prevented it.

[throwing-roses-into-the-abyss]

also remember to check the expiry date and replace it if necessary (because, yes, fire extinguishers have expiry dates)

Weird reminder but double check where your fire extinguisher is just to make sure it's where you last remember it, just in case it got moved around or something

(A/N: First fic back Hooray! I haven't written for Wolvie in years so bear with me)

Finding a man passed out drunk in your living room wasn’t something you planned for. You were actually planning to use your day off to catch up on some sleep, but this man- you recognized him as your neighbor, Logan, after taking a closer look- was really preventing that from happening. Your unexpected guest had taken over your couch and smelled very heavily of alcohol, you pushed him onto the floor so the smell wouldn't soak into your couch. You knew Logan was tough, and that he slept like a fucking 300 pound brick according to Wade, pushing him off the couch felt like you were trying to push a car with a dead battery but you were able to move the man onto the floor in an unceremonious heap after a couple of minutes of trying. A heavy thud followed his fall, but he didn’t so much as grunt when he hit the floor, and for a moment you wondered if he was actually dead, but the slight twitch in his hand told you he was fine, probably.

You weren’t going to let this ruin your day off, taking another look at the man, you did feel a little bad leaving him on the floor, not enough to put him back on your couch- no you paid way to much for it to do that- but bad enough for you to grab a spare pillow and blanket for the man. It felt a little weird, tucking in your intruder rather than calling the police on him, but you knew Logan well enough to know that he almost definitely meant to break into his own apartment and got a little mixed up. Being drunk will do that.

Moving away from him and into the kitchen, you decided to make breakfast, as your plans of sleeping had been completely ruined at- you looked at the clock on your stove- 6:37 in the morning. You just wanted to get some water before you went back to sleep, but no, now your making breakfast because even though you knew that Logan was relatively friendly- in his own way- waking up to him in your living room was fucking nerve wrecking and you falling back asleep wasn’t likely.

Opening your refrigerator, you took out a couple of eggs, then remembered that Logan was an absolutely massive man and promptly took out a couple more. You figured that eggs and bacon was an ok impromptu breakfast. Pans clinging together as you try to find the right one in the cabinet, trying to light your shitty gas stove without starting a fire, finally beginning to cook the bacon in the pan. 

When Logan walked in a couple minutes later, seemingly still asleep as he nearly reached into the pan to grab the bacon that wasn’t even done cooking yet, you grabbed his wrist, nearly dropping your spatula as you yanked the man's hand away from the pan.

“Dammit, be careful!”

Your voice seemingly woke him up, eyes opening wide as he stared at you, then his face morphed into one of confusion as he looked around, realizing that he definitely wasn’t in his own apartment.

“Good morning, could you please get out of my kitchen, you smell like beer.”

He blinked, “How the hell did I get here?”

Releasing his wrist and turning back to the stove, flipping the bacon as you said, “You broke in.”

You heard him groan, probably in embarrassment or annoyance, you’d be pretty embarrassed if you broke into your super nice neighbor’s apartment too.

“Fuck..” He muttered under his breath. 

“It’s fine, Logan, just let me finish cooking- and don’t sit on my couch!”

He left the kitchen almost immediately, but slowly. You figured he was hungover- you weren’t sure if that could happen with a healing factor like his but with the way he held his head in his hand, you figured something had to be happening. 

Wade had pretty much filled you in on his little multidimensional adventure. He also had a tendency to break into your apartment, (which is probably why you had a relatively calm reaction to Logan) he basically just declared that you were friends one day, it was pretty unceremonious actually. He told you everything, usually things you didn’t want to know, but you didn’t mind his company.

A couple more minutes passed and you finished cooking, making plates and grabbing forks before leaving the kitchen to find Logan. It took you a second, but you found him back in the living room, sitting on the floor, in front of the TV, cover draped over his shoulders. You sat down next to him, silently handing him a plate- he looked a little surprised, but took it with a quick, “Thanks.”

You ate quietly, you could tell Logan appreciated his sizable plate. When he was finished he sat it on the ground next to him. Hesitating for a moment before speaking,

“Sorry about breaking in,”

You hummed, “It’s fine, really, you’re not the first person to break in.”

He grunted, “I know Wade comes over sometimes.”

“Yeah, he’s bought me at least five new doorknobs in the past year, he acts like knocking will kill him.”

The irony made Logan snort, “Yeah, I wish.”

You sat your now empty plate on top of his.

“No you don't, you think Al will let you stay with her if he dies?”

“I’ll get my own place” 

“Uh Huh,” you hummed, “With what money?”

That made him laugh, even if it was a small one.

A moment passed and neither of you spoke, the house grew quiet and the space between the two of you became awkward.

Another moment passed and he pushed himself up off the floor, “I better get going.”

You followed behind him, to the front door where your door was left slightly open and what remains of the handle laid on the floor. You both paused at the sight, Logan glanced over at you, a bit of worry on his face.

You let out a sigh, “I'll get Wade to pay for it.”

The soft, humorous smile on your face made Logan relax as you kicked the sliced metal that used to be your doorknob to the side. 

“Thank you- for breakfast..and not calling the police.”

You laughed before saying, “Anytime, really. Just..call next time.”

He smiled as he left, deciding, deep in his subconscious, that he liked you.

~~~~~~~

You didn’t see him for another month after that, you’ve caught glances of him in passing, but nothing quite as friendly as your first meeting. Until one day, at about two in the morning, you could hear fighting next door. It woke you up out of your sleep as something was thrown against the wall over and over and over, then there was the yelling and growling and snarling. You knew Logan and Wade fought a lot in a mostly unserious way, but it was way to fucking early for DIY WWE. You knew better than to get involved in one of their fights. They were mutants, you weren’t, and you were not about to get in the middle of whatever they had going on. It’s kinda funny, considering what you’ve been told your whole life- the typical Alpha propaganda, being the strongest, the fastest, the leader. Your sure it worked on some people, but you were very fortunate to not fall down the aggressive uber dominate typical male alpha rabbit hole- you knew you wouldn’t always be the fastest, the strongest, or the most eligible leader just because you were an alpha (which most alphas should have figured out by now, considering that, like, half of the fucking Avenger are omegas- it was really funny trying to see people grabble with that fact when it came out.)

Pulling yourself out of your thoughts, you realized that the fighting had stopped, and now it was eerily quiet. You decided that it wasn’t your problem and rolled over to finally get some sleep. Your eyes were closed for maybe thirty seconds when a rapid banging on your door forced you out of bed.

Your door had long since been fixed, unlocking the door and swinging it open, a deeply tired look on your face.

Logan stood in front of you, covered in more blood that you’ve seen on a person in your entire life. A large gash on his face sealing itself right before your eyes. 

“Are you two done?” You asked tiredly.

He nodded, you stepped aside to let him in, only to look down and notice the trail of blood left by his boots. You grabbed him by the back of his shirt like you’d grab an unruly cat by its scruff.

“Take your shoes off, go shower.” He paused, turning around with a questioning look on his face, but he obeyed anyway.

Taking off his bloodied boots and tossing them out the door. You could smell something different in the air, but you were too tired to care- it wasn’t smoke or gas, so you weren’t worried about it, but it was something- something distinctly sweet.

You pointed Logan to the bathroom, flicking the light on with him trailing behind you. You could feel the energy practically draining out of your body every second you were conscious.

Muttering, “All the towels in the cabinet are clean-” you paused for a moment, really taking in the state of the man clothes, torn and bloodied- you noticed the small knife sticking out of his shoulder and didn’t even bother panicking, “You can leave you clothes on the counter, put the knife in the sink though. I’ll bring you something to wear.”

He listened well, you figured he must be tired too, his half-lidded expression and general obedience was surprising, but welcome at 2 in the morning.

You walked past him, turning the shower on before leaving without saying a word, closing the door behind you.

You left out a spare pillow and cover for the man, the same ones as last time, washed, of course, because Logan left them smelling like alcohol and you really didn’t want that stinking up your apartment. You moved on to half heartedly cleaning the blood off the floor with a couple of paper towels- cleaning may have been too strong a phrase, you really just threw them over the bloody footprints and moved on for the night. 

Finding Logan some clothes was really a guessing game, you couldn't really ask the man what size he wore, and it took you an embarrassingly long time to find something you thought would fit him. 

~~~~~~~

A sudden waft of cold air that filled the bathroom when you swung the door open, Logan could hear you moving around. Hot water cascaded down his body, washing away any evidence of the fight he’d had with Wade- really he needed to learn to shut the fuck up sometimes, that clearly wasn’t happening anytime soon, so Logan would settle for breaking his jaw over and over again until he got the point. It never stuck through, not with Wade, even after breaking his spine at least twice the man kept talking. The fight ended when Al woke up, not that Wade really cared, because even then he wouldn’t leave Logan alone. Because he likes Al, and to prove Wade wrong, he headed over to your house.

Despite what Wade had heavily insisted, he’s not avoiding you, and he’s not suppressing any feelings for you because there weren’t any to be had in the first place.

“‘Left you some clothes, i'm gonna wash yours, I’ll try and fix them in the morning but they’re pretty beat up.” He could hear how tired you were, and if he was anybody else he might have felt guilty for keeping you up this late. Surprisingly, he was enjoying the attention.

You were gone before he could respond, by the time he got out of the shower he couldn’t hear any movement around your apartment, so he figured you went to bed. Cracking the bathroom door to let some of the steam out and wiping his hand on the fogged over mirror, his body had healed completely, no longer bruised or caked with blood. Rubbing his hand over his face, suddenly feeling just as tired as you had looked, looking down at the neatly folded pile of clothes replacing his old ones. A large black Superman t-shirt and a gray hoodie, long, red checkered pajama pants, and navy blue underwear, folded right on top. The clothes smelled like you, and not just like the detergent you used, no, they had your natural scent on them. Logan wasn’t going to not wear them, considering he had nothing else to wear and he really didn’t want to walk over to his place to get clothes. He thought back to what happened last time he was here- when he broke in. He doesn’t really remember much of that night, but he does remember his dream. It started off as nothing, the usual black void that kept him calm as he slept, then an unfamiliar scent changed that- he had what he considered an under-active imagination, but that scent kicked it into hyperdrive. He dreamed of being held and loved, but most prominently of getting fucked. Logan would be the first to say that it’s been a long time for him, and that was partially his own fault, chronic self isolation did that, and partially because the only people he’d ever wanted to fuck him were dead. Not all of them, apparently, because whoever scent it was driving him insane. He’s been called feral before, along with other things, but it made him feel like his heat was about to start at that very second. It was miracle he didn’t wake up covered in his own slick that moring- or worse, start his heat in your fucking living room- and that was just from having a cover on him, actually wearing your clothes might put him in a coma.

He figured the strong scent of alcohol covered any of his lingering arousal, or maybe you were too nice to say anything. And you cooked for him- he broke into your house, damaged your property and you fucking cooked for him.

Wade swore he has a crush on you- which led to them fighting, of course, but they fought most days over any little thing. This wasn’t anything new.

He put on the clothes more hesitantly than he’d ever admit- and it was almost overwhelming, but he pushed through it, cutting off the light in the bathroom and navigating through your dark apartment. The light in the living room was on, as well as the TV, the remote was sat on top of the folded cover you left out for him. He quickly settled, he didn’t usually watch TV when he went to sleep, but he needed something to distract from your scent right now. Finding some shitty home improvement show and settling on the couch, keeping his mind as blank as he could, he had Jean to thank for that skill because it was really useful right now. Couldn’t think of sex if he wasn’t thinking at all. Letting the mind numbingly boring show be the white noise as he drifts off.

Logan, however, could not control his thoughts while he was asleep. His subconscious was working overtime, now, with a face and a voice to put to the alpha whose scent had effortlessly disarmed him and brought him to his knees.

It was such an easy image to conjure, you sitting in front of him as he rested his head on your thigh, running your hands through his hair as he stared up at you with pleading eyes, you smiled down at him, a small, warm smile, swearing lightly as he slowly unzipped your pants, already hard and waiting for him, you’d grab him by the hair and he’d let out a slow purr as you pulled him closer. Taking the tip of your cock in his mouth, sliding his tongue over it a few times, finally getting a taste of what he so desperately craves. He took as much as he could in his mouth, feeling it hit the back of his throat. Looking up at you again, a string of moans fell from your open mouth, your eyes just barely open, staring down at him. Your grip on his hair tightened for a moment, the shot of pain coursing through his scalp for a short moment, a muffled moan left him, before settling as you released him. Using his tongue to feel every little vein in your cock, moving slowly as you ran your fingers through his hair again. Feeling no need to rush as the heat in his chest and in his stomach grew hotter and hotter.

His own cock throbbed between his legs but he didn’t touch it, even as it leaked and mixed with the mess of slick in the boxer you gave him, he had no doubt that you would handle it. Letting your cock prod his throat and push past the barrier. Almost all his airflow was blocked but he didn’t pull back, trying to take you as deep as he could only to be yanked back by his hair. Pulled completely off your cock, he looked up at you, confused.

“What?” He said, his voice rough and deep.

You didn’t respond, instead, you stood, still holding onto him- and practically dragged him to your bedroom. He tried to keep up on all fours, panting and moaning at the pain and at how much this turned him on.

He was practically purring in your hand as you guided him onto your bed.

“You look so good like this,”

Your voice was sweet and genuine, quiet praises fell from your mouth as you slowly removed his clothes piece by piece. He only got hotter the more you revealed of him, the burning under his skin reaching an all time high. Once he was completely bare in front of you, you ran your hands across his body, starting at his chest, moving all the way down to his stomach and the thick trail of hair leading down to his cock, then back up again.

“Tell me what you want sweetheart.” You muttered, leaning down and pressing a kiss on his collar.

“I-” he breathed out, vision slightly blurred, “I want you.”

You smiled, kissing his neck, his jaw, his lips, “I want you, too.”

~~~~~~~

The almost overbearing smell of burning oak and honey pulled you out of your sleep, checking your phone, you saw that it’s been less that three hours since you let Logan in, and his scent, which was usually calm and almost unnoticeable, was filling your bedroom, even with him nowhere in sight. Running your hand over your face with a tired groan, then you took a deep breath, and any irritation you felt rising at being woken up again melted away. You enjoyed the scent longer than you should have- it made you feel warm on an otherwise cold night.

For a second you considered opening the window- you were practically drowning in his scent and you aren’t even in the same room- but a sudden and overwhelming feeling of possessiveness kept you from doing it. Logan was vulnerable right now, what kind of friend would you be if you let just anyone encounter him like this- god, what if Wade of all people found out, you nor Logan would ever hear the end of it. A small part of your brain that wasn’t completely clouded by Logan’s utterly intoxicating scent wondered why he suddenly decided to present so strongly, a louder, more primal part of your brain screamed “Heat!” until it's all you could think of. The thought made a shiver shoot through your spine as blood pooled straight downward.

You tried to think of what could have started his heat so suddenly, but any detective work would have to wait until you didn’t feel like breeding him anymore. That quiet, logical part of your brain was telling you to stay in your room- but it was too quiet and you ended up leaving your room and heading into the pitch black darkness that was the rest of your house. You moved completely out of muscle memory, heading straight to the living room. You could feel the heat radiating off the man the second you entered, reaching for the light on the wall, missing it twice before flipping the switch. The room lit up immediately. Logan was truly something out of your wildest fantasies, face buried in a pillow, cover completely discarded on the floor, his shirt rode up while his pants were riding down in an attempt to relieve the heat burning in his skin. Hips rolling against the couch cushion as soft, almost inaudible moans escaped the man. You just stared for a long moment, frozen in shock at the sight.

You were fully aware you shouldn’t be watching this, your heart was pounding it your chest, and your dick was throbbing in your pants. 

Your breath caught in your throat when he stopped, a long groan emitting from him as he rolled onto his back.

Fully hard and straining against the pajama pants you gave him, taking a deep breath in through his nose, then his body tensed, a second later his eyes snapped open and he stared you down, just a few feet away from him, just as flustered, heart pounding just as hard as his, pants just as tight and straining. He pushed himself up, swinging his legs over so he was sitting upright. He gave you a small challenging look. That’s all it took for any bit of resolve you had to be thrown out the window.

It was a messy, desperate first kiss, your hands practically clawing at each other's bodies as you pressed your lip to his- Logan decided that you were definitely a better kisser in real life than you were in his dream. It left both of you hot and gasping for air. Pushing Logan back down onto the couch, pushing his legs open and slotting yourself between them. He pulled back with a winded laugh and a smirk.

“Mhh, what’s so funny?” you asked, not waiting for him to answer before you continued kissing any exposed bit of skin you could find, leaving a hickey on his collar bone- only to watch it disappear seconds later.

He craned his neck back almost instinctively, giving you as much space as he could.

“Didn’t think I’d actually ever want an alpha,’ thought that was a bunch of bullshit.”

You hummed, your hands finding their way under his shirt, feeling his skin against yours, the searing heat of it. Feeling what Wade had called on numerous occasions ‘fucking massive tits’. You had to say he was right, watching as a shudder ran through Logan's body. 

“And now?” You asked, a small smirk on your face.

He hissed quietly, rolling his hips against yours, “I’m fucking burning for you.”

You felt the nearly unsuppressable urge to mark him rise. He wanted you, he was burning for you. 

Not any other alpha out there- He could have gone anywhere tonight, you're sure he knew every late night bar in a 50 mile radius, and he still came to you.

You pulled back, nearly ripping his pants in a desperate attempt to get them off- your frantic, ecstatic state made a small laugh rise in Logan’s chest, he didn’t even consider helping you. He let you do all the work, if you were that desperate for him then you wouldn’t complain- and you didn’t. (He was a considerable amount more desperate than you were, considering he was just humping your couch like a damn dog 5 minutes ago and he just started what was more than likely going to be a very, very bad heat.)

When you were finally able to get his pants off, you could feel just how wet he was. The navy boxer you gave him were drenched in slick, clinging to him, showing off the hard outline of his cock. Logan sunk farther into the couch, a low purr emitting from deep in his chest.

“Don’t just look.” he panted.

His body reacted so strongly every time you took your hands off of him, even if it was just for a moment, his body would ache and writhe the second they were away from him. He let out a low breath when you finally touched him again, one hand wrapped around his cock, the other holding his face as you kissed him. He moaned unapologetically, loud, but muffled by your lips as you kissed him. His hips bucked up into your hands as you rubbed him through his boxer. Logan's head fell back against the cushions, eyes squeezed shut as a babble of swears fell from his lips, almost indistinguishable from his moans and low growls.

You tease him for what, to Logan, felt like hours. Sensitive and so pent up, he clung to you, holding your body against his, his face buried in your neck, taking in as much of your scent as he could. The burning in his skin didn’t stop, but it felt a lot cooler with you against him.

Logan was scenting you- you realized that the two of you would be smelling like each other and sex for at least a week- a part of you wished it was longer. That he’d walk around and have everyone in his vicinity know he was yours.

Your hand slipped under his boxers, pulling them down until they were about mid thigh. Moving past his hard, twitching cock and straight down to his hole. Soaking wet, you barely touched it before he squirted more slick onto your hand. Still with your face pressed to his neck, you chuckled.

“I barely even touched you..” you muttered.

With a growl, he said, “fuck off.”

You kissed his neck, right over the scent gland, making it flare up again.

“Make me, cowboy.”

You didn't give him time to respond, pushing two fingers into his hole, feeling him clench around them. His hips shifted against yours as you massaged his walls, listening to him grunt, and purr, and moan. Rubbing his cock against your still clothed one. Little sits of pre-cum beading at the tip and smearing on your pants.

He could feel pressure building in his stomach, it was sudden and unstoppable- not like he’d want it to-  with little warning to you, his body tensed hard, his legs closing around your body and his arms holding you in an almost crushing grip. He whined, bucking hard and fast against you- trying to fuck your fingers deeper into him as cum short from his cock, staining your pants and both your shirts. 

Fuck, that only made things worse. Once his arms were loose enough around you, you pulled back, sitting up and looking at the mess between the two of you. His legs were wide open, one hooked on the back of the couch, the other hanging off the side. He stared at you, pupils blown wide, thrusting his hips against nothing in a desperate attempt to feel something.

“More.”  He growled out.

“You want more?” You asked in a teasing tone, moving your hands to rest on his thighs.

He nodded.

You hummed softly, leaning down and kissing his cheek, “Ok sweetheart, I’ll give you more.”

He purred at the nickname. Letting his eyes close he listened to you move, hearing each article of clothes hit the floor, your scent got stronger and he breathed it in as deeply as he could.

Logan gasped when you pressed the tip of your cock against his hole, trying to press against it only for you to pull back.

“Relax.” You said, running your hands over his thighs I what he figured was supposed to be a soothing motion be it only made things worse

-you were right there, just a little bit more, please-

“You’d think after being alive for 200 years you’d learn some patients.” You pushed in slowly, watching as his mouth fell open in a silent moan. Pushing in inch by inch, feeling how hot he was around you, squeezing you tight. Finally, you were fully pushed inside him. His hands grinned the couch cushions so tight you thought they might tear.

Teeth clenched hard and chest heaving, he nearly shouted, “fucking move!”, after a second, “please.”

You abided, pulling half way out, giving him a shallow thrust. Over and over, pulling out farther and farther, then burying your cock back into his hole until you were slamming into him burying you cock deep inside him every time.

Shame seemed to stop existing for him as he moaned your name loud and clear, then,

“More Alpha, come on- please.”

He said it so easily that he almost didn’t realize it until you paused, looking down at him, a nearly unreadable expression in your face.

Panting, you said, “say that again.”

So gone, so beyond horny that his mind had slipped away from him, catching up moments later.

“More, y/n-“ you pinched his side, a wide grin on your face.

“That’s not what you said.”

He huffed, “fuck you.”

You gave him a slow, soft thrust, “come on, you already said it, it just wanna hear it again.”.

He glared up at you, resisting the urge to tell you to get to hell.

“Please..Alpha.”

The look on your face made it worth it, you pulled back until just the tip of your cock remained inside. Logan knew you weren’t going to pull out now, so he braces himself for the hard pounding he knew was inevitable. When it did come he put a couple claw shaped holes in your couch.

His body bounced hard with every thrust. Listening to you growl and pant as you hammered into him. This was miles better than any dream or fantasy. Holding on to the couch for dear life.

Minutes passed and you showed no sign of slowing down, even as another orgasm shot through Logan’s body, you didn’t stop, looking down at the cum splattered across his chest.

“My pretty omega-“ you panted, you felt Logan tighten around you, “want me to fill you with my cum, huh?”

Logan, covered in his own sweat, slick, and cum, barely able to think, nodded.

He could feel your knot starting to swell, it took more and more force to push into him- it made you slower, but you still slammed into him just as hard. Your pre-cum leaked into his hole, your own orgasm moments away and Logan could tell.

A little dizzy, he put his hands on your shoulder, trying to guide you down but you wouldn't go- even though he was dazed and ,for the most part, satiated, there was still something he wanted.

“Y/n, mhhm- Alpha- mark me-”

It wasn't a request, it was an order, and you couldn't find it in yourself to deny him.

You couldn't think of the repercussions, what this would mean for either of your futures, what it would do to your still extremely new relationship, not because you didn't want to, but you physically couldn't, the idea of making him yours was too strong.

You leaned down and pressed your teeth into his bare skin. You could only taste his blood for a short moment, the skin healed as fast as it broke- instead of perfectly clear skin being left there was a scar. Before you could even begin to wonder how that could happen you came hard, knot swelling, keeping you locked deep inside of Logan as you finished inside of him. 

You pressed a kiss on his cheek, he blinked tiredly, a small grin on his face.

“What?” you yawned, feeling exhausted.

“I owe Wade an apology..”

You groaned, flopping down onto his chest.

“Don't bring him up now,”

He laughed, “‘ thought you liked him?”

“Yeah, just not while my dick is still in you, you can talk all you want about Wade in 30 to 40 minutes when my knot goes down.” you said, wrapping your arms around you to the best of your ability. 

He did the same, “Fine.”

~~~~~~~

Logan’s heat lasted about a week, he stayed with you the whole time, partially because he really didn’t want to deal with Wade, but mostly because the two of you could not stop fucking. He was your mate after all, what were you supposed to do, let him suffer? In the past 6 days you and Logan have fucked a total of 9 times- 

-10 if he didn’t stop kissing you neck right fucking down.

“Logan, I have to go to work,” You said in a stern tone that only made him want you more.

“Call off.”

“I’ve already been off for six days because of you.”

He really didn’t care- you could feel him leave a hickey on your neck- as though you weren’t already covered in hundreds of bites and bruises because of him.

“I’m going to lose my job-”

“Come on, please?” He said quietly.

You took a deep breath in-

“What the fuck, I leave for a couple of days and you house break my roommate!”

Oh god, it's entirely too early for this.

You don’t know where Wade came from, but now he’s in your kitchen with you and Logan.

“Kidding, I’ve been listening to you two fuck all week. You-” He puts a finger in your chest, “-are a real freak. And I thought I was a dirty dog, you are really something else.”

“Fuck off, Wade.” Logan said, seems like the mere presence of Wade turned him off.

“And you, I don’t even know what to say to you- You think you know a guy, live with him for a year and he just doesn’t tell you he’s an omega, that's considered extremely rude in most places. You don’t have to worry about anyone else being surprised, I’m pretty sure they heard you begging for Y/n sweet, succulent dick all the way in Europe.”

You stood, grabbing your keys off the counter- you were not staying and watching Wade get torn to shreds.

You turned to Logan to see that he was thoroughly pissed off.

“Don't get blood on my floor.” You kissed his cheek, knowing it was very likely  that he was going to get blood on every surface. “Have fun.”

You walked away, hearing a loud thump behind you and deciding that you weren’t going to pay it any attention, even as Wade’s high pitched screams met your ears. Reaching the front door you saw it in pieces again. That was a problem for later, for now you needed to get to work and attempt to explain to your manager why you’ve been MIA.

Request are closed

How Professional Installers Guarantee Fire Safety Compliance in Your Kitchen

Proper kitchen exhaust hood installation is essential for maintaining fire safety in both residential and commercial kitchens. Trained installers play a crucial role in ensuring your kitchen ventilation system meets all necessary fire safety standards, helping to reduce the risk of fire hazards. In this article, we’ll explore how professional installers ensure your kitchen exhaust hood is installed correctly and in compliance with local fire safety regulations.

The Role of Trained Installers in Kitchen Exhaust Hood Installation

When it comes to kitchen exhaust hood installation, trained professionals are equipped with the knowledge of ventilation systems and fire safety protocols. They follow specific guidelines to ensure the exhaust hood is installed properly, allowing for the effective removal of heat, smoke, and grease-laden vapors. This not only helps your kitchen run efficiently but also protects it from fire risks.

How Trained Installers Ensure Fire Safety Compliance

Professional installers help ensure your kitchen meets fire safety standards in the following ways:

Proper Ductwork Installation: Ducts must be made of fire-resistant materials and positioned to promote efficient airflow. Trained installers ensure the ducts are properly configured to minimize grease buildup, a leading cause of kitchen fires.

Correct Grease Filter Placement: Grease filters capture grease-laden vapors before they reach the duct system. Improper installation of these filters can lead to grease accumulation, increasing fire risks. Professionals ensure filters are installed and maintained according to fire safety regulations.

Integration of Fire Suppression Systems: In commercial kitchens, fire suppression systems are often required alongside the exhaust hood. Trained installers ensure these systems are correctly integrated, allowing them to quickly extinguish fires if necessary.

Compliance with NFPA 96: NFPA 96 is the national standard for ventilation control and fire protection in commercial cooking operations. Trained installers ensure your kitchen exhaust hood complies with NFPA 96, reducing fire risks and ensuring legal compliance.

Benefits of Hiring Trained Installers for Kitchen Exhaust Hood Installation

By choosing trained professionals for kitchen exhaust hood installation, you gain several benefits:

Fire Hazard Prevention: Professionals follow fire safety protocols, ensuring proper installation of all components to minimize fire risks in the kitchen.

Compliance with Local Codes: Trained installers ensure your kitchen ventilation system meets all relevant local fire safety codes, helping you avoid fines or shutdowns.

Improved System Efficiency: Proper installation ensures your ventilation system operates efficiently, keeping the kitchen air clean and reducing fire risks.

Long-Term Safety: Professional installers offer guidance on maintaining your kitchen exhaust system for long-term compliance with fire safety standards.

Conclusion

Trained professionals are essential to ensuring your kitchen exhaust hood installation is completed correctly and in compliance with fire safety regulations. By hiring skilled installers, you can protect your kitchen from fire hazards, improve system efficiency, and ensure long-term safety. Don’t compromise on fire safety—choose professional installation to safeguard your kitchen.

From Fire Hazards to Safety: How Regular Cleaning Saves Kitchens

Maintaining a safe commercial kitchen goes beyond preparing delicious meals—it’s also about keeping the equipment clean and safe. A crucial part of this is kitchen exhaust hood cleaning. Without routine cleaning, grease buildup in the exhaust hood can become a significant fire hazard. Understanding how regular maintenance protects kitchens is key to creating a safer workspace.

How Grease Buildup Becomes a Fire Risk

As food cooks, grease and oil particles rise with the steam and stick to surfaces inside the exhaust hood and ductwork. Over time, this buildup forms a highly flammable layer, turning the kitchen ventilation system into a potential fire hazard. Even a small spark or high heat from cooking could ignite the grease, causing flames to spread quickly through the ducts. That’s why regular kitchen exhaust hood maintenance is essential to reduce fire risks.

The Benefits of Consistent Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning

Keeping up with kitchen hood cleaning offers several advantages beyond fire prevention. It improves air quality, helps the kitchen meet safety regulations, and enhances the overall efficiency of the exhaust system. Here are some key benefits:

Fire Prevention: Regular cleaning significantly reduces the risk of grease fires, protecting your staff and property.

Enhanced Air Quality: Clean exhaust systems help remove smoke and odors, creating a more comfortable environment for both employees and guests.

Compliance with Regulations: Many local fire codes require routine kitchen exhaust cleaning to meet safety standards, ensuring your kitchen stays compliant.

Professional Services vs. DIY Cleaning: Which Is Best?

When it comes to maintaining a clean kitchen exhaust hood, choosing between professional services and DIY methods depends on your kitchen’s needs. Understanding the differences can help you make the best choice:

Why Choose Professional Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning

Professional kitchen exhaust cleaning companies offer thorough services using specialized tools that reach deep into the ducts, ensuring all grease deposits are removed. This level of cleaning is especially important for high-volume kitchens where grease can build up quickly. Professional services provide a deeper clean that DIY methods may struggle to achieve.

DIY Kitchen Exhaust Hood Maintenance Tips

For smaller kitchens, some owners opt for DIY methods, using degreasers and manually scrubbing accessible parts of the exhaust hood. While DIY cleaning can be effective as part of a routine, it often doesn’t reach the depth of professional cleaning. Regular inspections and thorough scrubbing are necessary to ensure no hidden grease remains, which could pose a fire risk.

Determining How Often to Clean Your Kitchen Exhaust Hood

The frequency of kitchen exhaust hood cleaning depends on how busy your kitchen is. High-traffic restaurants may need professional cleanings every three months, while smaller kitchens might manage with biannual maintenance. Regular inspections can help determine when a more thorough cleaning is needed, ensuring that grease doesn’t accumulate to unsafe levels.

Prioritize Safety with Routine Maintenance

Neglecting regular kitchen exhaust hood cleaning can lead to serious fire hazards, turning your ventilation system into a potential danger. Consistent cleaning not only keeps your kitchen safer but also improves the overall environment for staff and customers. Whether you choose professional services or manage the cleaning yourself, maintaining a clean exhaust hood is essential for preventing fires and ensuring a safe, efficient kitchen.
