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%
