Frequently Asked Questions — Bladensburg & Prince George’s County
Does the Town of Bladensburg have its own fire inspections or does Prince George’s County handle them?
Commercial fire inspections in the Town of Bladensburg are handled by the Prince George’s County Fire/EMS Department, not by a separate town fire inspector. Most municipalities within Prince George’s County — including Bladensburg — rely on the county fire department for commercial fire enforcement rather than maintaining independent municipal inspection programs. This means your NFPA 96 certificate should meet Prince George’s County standards, which is what we provide for all service visits in the area.
The Annapolis Road corridor has a lot of small Latin American restaurants — do they all need NFPA 96 cleaning?
Yes — every commercial food service operation with cooking equipment under a Type I hood is subject to NFPA 96 cleaning requirements regardless of restaurant size, cuisine type, or years in operation. Small Salvadoran, Guatemalan, Mexican, and other Latin American restaurants on the Annapolis Road corridor are commercial cooking operations subject to the same Prince George’s County fire inspection as any other restaurant. In fact, the high-heat, high-throughput cooking methods common in traditional Latin American restaurant kitchens — large comal griddles, deep fryers, and open-flame cooking — often produce significant grease accumulation that makes regular cleaning both a compliance requirement and a genuine fire safety measure.
