Our Story

Built on Legacy.
Driven by Purpose.

R&T Legacy Fire Prevention exists because fire prevention in commercial kitchens is a professional responsibility — not a commodity service.

Mission

Why We Exist

R&T Legacy Fire Prevention was founded by Ivan Rangel, an Executive Chef with years of experience managing commercial kitchen operations. He has stood at the line during dinner rushes, navigated surprise health inspections, and watched firsthand what happens when exhaust systems are neglected.

He started this company because he knew what the right standard looked like — and saw how rarely it was met.

Hugo Arturo Rangel Torres

This company carries a deeper meaning. Built in memory of Hugo — taken unexpectedly at 35, far too soon. He is the reason the name says Legacy, and the reason this work is done with a standard higher than what the job requires.

That is not a marketing statement. It is the reason the standard here is higher — and the reason we treat every kitchen we enter with the same level of care we would give our own.

The Difference

We Know These Kitchens From the Inside

Most exhaust cleaning companies approach a kitchen from the outside — as a job to complete on a schedule. We approach it as kitchen professionals who understand what that system does every day, where grease accumulates first, and what a fire marshal is actually looking for.

That difference shows in the quality of the work. It shows in the documentation we provide. And it shows when inspection day comes and our clients are ready.
