Fires in kitchen appliances are detected and controlled by a detection and control system that activates a fire extinguishing system when the fire is detected, terminates the supply of electricity and/or gas to the appliances, and initiates audible and visual alarms. These funds would pay for updated emergency shutdown systems, as required by fire code, in all kitchens and consumer science areas in 25 schools. The exceptions are Putnam City Academy, which has already been upgraded, and Kirkland Elementary School, which does not have cooking equipment (and instead has food delivered to the school and kept at proper temperature in warmers).
