Summary
Kitchen staff were not provided with education or training on how to use the fire compression system in the facility's kitchen. During an observation, it was noted that there was no manual pull chain for the fire system, and when questioned, kitchen staff were unaware of how to manually activate the fire hood to extinguish a fire. The maintenance department later demonstrated to both staff and surveyors the button used to activate the fire hood, confirming that kitchen staff did not previously know how to operate the fire compression system.
