Firesafe?

September 26, 2014 · Don Pfleiderer

Firesafe. Below is what a kitchen exhaust system cleaner is thinking or telling their customers. What do you think? It sure explains why many systems are left is this condition.
"They claimed they had cleaned this system 3 times over the course of 1 week (2 man team, 8 hours each time) and sent in writing along with these pictures that it was “fire safe”." 
What do you think? Obviously the FM who sent these to me did not need my reply. He no longer uses this company to clean systems in his area. 

Looking at the grease trough, there is still buildup plugging 
it up so the grease from the filters does not flow to the catch pan. 
Looking up the stack we start to see where the cleaning stops
 Further up we see clear areas that were missed
 And even further us into the horizontal, we see little was done. 
These were actual pictures sent by the cleaner claiming it was fire safe!  
 Looking into the fan bowl we see some scraping . 
There were no pictures of the actual back of the fan blades.
