About this file
This is a Joint Commission inspection report documenting a semi-annual inspection of automatic kitchen hood fire extinguishing systems at VA Medical Center, located at 1826 Veterans Blvd, Dublin, GA 31021. The inspection was conducted on October 8, 2025, by inspector David Mills (License 4205XHP) from Johnson Controls North America, the service provider. The inspection is identified as Work Order #59851798 and covers Element of Performance EP-13 under Joint Commission Standard EC.02.03.05, which requires testing of all automatic fire extinguishing systems for kitchen hoods every six months in accordance with NFPA 96-2011: 11.2.
The inspection covered six kitchen hood systems and ten kitchen hood appliances across multiple kitchen locations: Building 85, Cafe back, Cafe front, Main kitchen back hood, Main kitchen front hood, and Main kitchen serving line. All 16 devices inspected (100%) passed with no deficiencies identified and no retired devices. All systems achieved full compliance with maintenance requirements including fusible link replacement, detection system testing, remote manual pull station testing, electric switch operation, nozzle cleaning, vacuum testing, and air or nitrogen purging. System manufacturers include Ansul (multiple models ranging from 1.5 to 6 gallons), with electric shunt trip fuel shut-off mechanisms. The systems protect various cooking appliances including ranges, fryers, griddles, tilt skillets, and ovens. Notable items marked "No" or "Not Answered" include personnel instruction in manual system operation and Class K extinguisher presence at certain locations. The report includes detailed maintenance item results for each system and concludes with inspector signature certification on 10/08/2025.

Automatic Kitchen Hood Systems
For additional guidance on performing the tests, see NFPA 96-2011: 11.2
Test Method
An inspection and servicing of the fire-extinguishing system and listed exhaust hoods containing a constant or fire-actuated water system shall be made at least every 6 months by properly trained and qualified persons.
All actuation components, including remote manual pull stations, mechanical or electrical devices, detectors, actuators, and fire-actuated dampers, shall be checked for proper operation during the inspection in accordance with the manufacturer's listed procedures.
Fusible links (including fusible links on fire damper assemblies) and automatic sprinkler heads shall be replaced at least annually or more frequently if necessary where required by the manufacturer.
Other detection devices not including fusible links and automatic sprinklers shall be serviced or replaced in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Where automatic bulb-type sprinklers or spray nozzles are used and annual examination shows no buildup of grease or other material on the sprinkler or spray nozzles, annual replacement shall not be required.

It is understood and agreed by the Customer that Company is not an insurer and that insurance coverage, if any, shall be obtained by the Customer and that amounts payable to Company hereunder are based upon the value of the services and the scope of liability set forth in this agreement and are unrelated to the value of the Customer's property and the property of others located on the premises. Customer agrees to look exclusively to the Customer's insurer to recover for injuries or damage in the event of any loss or injury and that Customer releases and waives all right of recovery against Company arising by way of subrogation. Company makes no guaranty or Warranty, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose that equipment or services supplied by Company will detect or avert occurrences or the consequences there from that the equipment or service was designed to detect or avert.<br />It is impractical and extremely difficult to fix the actual damages, if any, which may proximately result from failure on the part of Company to perform any of its obligations under this agreement. Accordingly, Customer agrees that, Company shall be exempt from liability for any loss, damage or injury arising directly or indirectly from occurrences, or the consequences therefrom, which the equipment or service was designed to detect or avert. Should Company be found liable for any loss, damage or injury arising from a failure of the equipment or service in any respect, Company's liability shall be limited to an amount equal to the agreement price (as increased by the price for any additional work) or where the time and material payment term is selected, Customer's time and material payments to Company. Where this agreement covers multiple sites, liability shall be limited to the amount of the payments allocable to the site where the incident occurred. Such sum shall be complete and exclusive. If Customer desires Company to assume greater liability, the parties shall amend this agreement by attaching a rider setting forth the amount of additional liability and the additional amount payable by the Customer for the assumption by Company of such greater liability, provided however that such rider shall in no way be interpreted to hold Company as an insurer. IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE, LOSS, INJURY, OR ANY OTHER CLAIM ARISING FROM ANY SERVICING, ALTERATIONS, MODIFICATIONS, CHANGES, OR MOVEMENTS OF THE COVERED SYSTEM(S) OR ANY OF ITS COMPONENT PARTS BY THE CUSTOMER OR ANY THIRD PARTY. COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE, LOSS OF THE USE, PERFORMANCE, OR FAILURE OF THE COVERED SYSTEM(S) TO PERFORM. The limitations of liability set forth in this agreement shall inure to the benefit of all parents, subsidiaries and affiliates of Company, whether direct or indirect, Company's employees, agents, officers and directors.
