A fire protection system and method for providing a fire protection for a cooking unit (1) comprising a vessel (2) containing liquid fat or grease. The fire protection system comprises a fire suppressant source with water based fire suppressant, preferably essentially pure water. The fire protection system further comprises at least one pipe (4) being fluidly connected to the fire suppressant source in such a manner that fire suppressant from the fire suppressant source may be supplied to the pipe(s) (4). At least one pipe (4) is arranged above the vessel (2) and extending along a direction defined by a first rim (5) of the vessel (2), said pipe(s) (4) comprising a first set of nozzles (6a) directed towards the first rim (5) of the vessel (2), and a second set of nozzles (6b) directed towards a second rim (7) of the vessel (2), said second rim (7) being arranged opposite the first rim (5). Thereby the nozzles (6) are adapted to simultaneously spray fire suppressant supplied from the fire suppressant source towards the first and second rims (5, 7). Thereby the fire is contained in the vessel (2), and it is ensured that the vessel (2) is cooled, thereby preventing the fire from reigniting.
