Fire Safety
Please AVOID the three most common Fire Safety issues:
smoking in bed, leaving children unattended and use of
flammable cleaning fluids/solvents.
• In a fire emergency, EVACUATE the RV first ,
then
call 911 from a safe location.
•
In a fire emergency,
execute your Family Safety Plan .
• Make sure everyone knows to Stop, Drop & Roll
if their clothes catch fire.
◦
Stop in place, do not run.
◦
Drop to the ground.
◦
Roll
back and forth, with hands shielding face
from the fire.
• Supervise children around any open flame, especially
grills, and campfires.
• Learn and teach safe fire practices. Build campfires
away from nearby trees or bushes.
• Maintain at least a three-foot clear area around grills,
campfires and tents, that is free of leaves, dry grass,
pine needles, etc.
• ALWAYS have a way to quickly and completely extinguish
a campfire ready in advance . NEVER leave a fire burning
unattended, even a cigarette.
• Teach family members how to use the fire extinguisher
and replace it as recommended.
• DO NOT store combustible materials in closed areas
or near a heat source.
• DO NOT use water to put out a grease fire.
Water can spread some types of fire and create
an electrocution hazard during an electrical fire.
• ALWAYS call the Fire Department,
No matter how small the fire.
More information on firefighting can be found at the National
Fire Protection Association website ( www.nfpa.org ).
