On the ground
What we see in Carlsbad kitchens.
Carlsbad splits between the older Village blocks, where restaurants sit in buildings with shared rear access and long duct runs, and the newer centres out toward Palomar Airport Road with clean rooftop access. Coastal air is hard on fan housings here — on a system that hasn't been serviced in a few years, the fan usually takes longer than the hood.
First cleans in Village buildings often turn up duct sections with no access panel. We document what we couldn't reach on your report rather than skipping it quietly.

Questions
Hood cleaning in Carlsbad, answered.
Does Carlsbad offer a free fire inspection for commercial kitchens?
Yes. FireSafe Carlsbad is a voluntary program run by the Fire & Life Safety Division, and it offers commercial kitchens a cost-free fire inspection. It is the city's program, not ours — you arrange it with the Fire & Life Safety Division directly. What we hand you is the NFPA 96 service report and before-and-after photos documenting that the exhaust system was cleaned.
Can my kitchen staff practise with a real extinguisher in Carlsbad?
They can. FireSafe Carlsbad includes free fire extinguisher training for kitchen staff, with hands-on practice using a live fire prop. That is genuinely useful for line cooks, who are the people most likely to reach a flare-up first. We do not run the training — it comes from the Fire & Life Safety Division.
How does FireSafe Carlsbad relate to having the hood cleaned?
They are separate things that support each other. The city's program covers inspection, extinguisher training and a free four-part commercial kitchen safety video series. None of that cleans grease out of the system — that is the work we do, on a schedule set by how you cook. A Carlsbad kitchen can use all three city resources and still need its hood, duct run and fan cleaned on the usual interval.
