Tai Ho Restaurant Fire

Two firefighters were killed while battling a blaze that had burned undetected in a concealed ceiling space above the kitchen of this Mandarin & Cantonese restaurant.

Drake Exhibits worked with fire investigators to document the the building layout, construction details, automatic extinguishing system, exhaust fans, and ductwork.

A series of plans were created depicting the overall restaurant plan, the overall kitchen plan and several detailed views of the kitchen showing appliance locations, ventilation ductwork, extinguishing agent piping and activation mechanism.
