Professional exhaust system cleaning and fire prevention for commercial kitchens across the Triangle. We clean it, document it, and certify it — so your kitchen is always inspection-ready.
Serving Raleigh · Durham · Cary · Apex · Wake Forest · Chapel Hill · and surrounding areas
Grease accumulation inside commercial exhaust systems is the leading ignition source for kitchen fires in the United States. When that fire happens, the first question your insurance carrier asks is: "Where is your cleaning documentation?"
R&T Legacy Fire Prevention gives you that documentation. We clean to NFPA 96 standards, issue a compliance certificate after every visit, and maintain your service history on file — so when inspection day comes, you're ready.
We are not a cleaning service with a fire safety pitch. We are a fire prevention company that cleans kitchens for a living.
Why it matters
of restaurant fires involve cooking equipment — exhaust systems are the primary path of spread.
Starting rate for a single-hood kitchen. Far less than a failed inspection, a voided claim, or a grease fire.
of our clients receive a compliance certificate and service documentation after every visit.
If any of those apply, your kitchen carries real fire risk — and real liability exposure. NFPA 96 doesn’t allow for “we got busy.” A grease fire, a failed inspection, or a voided insurance claim costs far more than a scheduled cleaning.

"We had a fire marshal inspection scheduled and called R&T Legacy on short notice. They came in, handled the full system, and had our compliance paperwork ready the same day. Exactly what we needed."
"As a multi-location operator, I need vendors I can count on. R&T Legacy handles our quarterly service without us having to chase them down. That alone is worth the contract."
"What I appreciate is that they explain what they find. After the first service, they showed me exactly where grease had built up. That's a different level of professionalism."
R&T Legacy Fire Prevention was founded by Ivan Rangel, an Executive Chef who has spent years inside commercial kitchens — managing operations, navigating inspections, and understanding firsthand the real consequences of neglected exhaust systems.
