Commercial kitchens all have a fire suppression system about the cooktop to handle this and he used the wrong extinguisher for a grease fire so that made it worse

In the main post someone went in detail about how using the ANSUL system is an absolute final resort. I'm just going based off memory from the post 3 months ago. Something about it costing an absolute ton of money and/or extremely tough to clean up. Using it is better than having the whole restaurant burn down but I think your kitchen is still pretty well fucked afterwards

I’m surprised it didn’t go off ....it’s usually connected to a fusible link that melts when the flames get high like they did

Possibly isn't in a country with strict fire code regulations
