Los Angeles, CA - One month after two Boston firefighters were killed in a restaurant fire caused by excess kitchen exhaust grease, a new organization has formed dedicated to improving the kitchen exhaust cleaning industry.

"The tragedy we have experienced in Boston is a result of poor kitchen exhaust cleaning service, as well as lack of enforcement from local fire inspectors. If the service company had cleaned according to the NFPA 96 standard this tragedy could have been avoided." said Josh Dodson, president of The Grease Police Association and Service Manager of Liberty Services, Inc. - an Ohio-based company that has been in the kitchen exhaust cleaning business since 1996.

The Grease Police Association is the new authority in the kitchen exhaust cleaning industry. The GPA strives to have every kitchen exhaust system cleaned to the current NFPA #96 Fire Code and will be proactive in educating and regulating kitchen exhaust cleaners and the GPA members.

Each Grease Police Association member will be held accountable by fellow Grease Police Association members, who have developed a quality control method that prevents substandard cleaners from gaining a foothold within the organization.

The Grease Police Association is also a collective voice lobbying fire marshals, insurance companies, restaurant associations, and the legislature.

"Our goal is to inform those with the ability to improve and enforce a higher standard in the KEC industry that there is an association that ensures the job is being performed properly, that it's members are committed to a higher standard, and that each member of The Grease Police Association is accountable for their efforts"
