Commissary scale
A production kitchen is not a restaurant kitchen with more covers. Longer runs mean more links and more nozzles to verify, and the visit takes longer.

Kitchen Hood Fire Suppression in San Leandro.
San Leandro has more production and commissary kitchens than restaurant kitchens. Those are bigger systems — longer hood runs, more nozzles, more fusible links — and the cook line changes whenever production does.
Authority having jurisdiction
Alameda County Fire Department
San Leandro has contracted fire protection to the Alameda County Fire Department since 1995, and ACFD also provides fire code administration for the city. Your inspection and your correction notice come from the county, not from a San Leandro department.

Questions
What San Leandro operators ask about this.
Is a commissary kitchen serviced like a restaurant?
Same standards, bigger system. Production kitchens have longer hood runs, more nozzles and more fusible links, and the layout changes more often as production shifts. The semi-annual interval is identical; the visit takes longer and there is more to verify.
We changed what we produce. Does the hood system need attention?
If appliances moved or changed, yes. Nozzles are engineered per appliance and per position, so a rearranged line means the coverage no longer matches. In production kitchens this happens more often than the six-month interval, which is why we ask about changes on every visit.
Who certifies hood systems in San Leandro?
Work is done by a licensed company — us — and inspected by Alameda County Fire, which provides fire code administration for the city under its contract.
