Smoke Detector
Fire could start in a location that would prevent smoke from reaching the
detector. Detectors also are better at detecting fast flaming fires than the
slow smoldering variety. They are also not a cure for poor fire safety habits.
Smoke detectors need occasional maintenance for reliable service. A smoke
detector is designed to be relatively maintenance free, but there are three
things you can do to keep a detector in reliable working order:
TEST – At least once a week by firmly pressing the button located near the
center of the cover. The alarm should sound briefly. If it does not
work, replace the 9-volt battery and test again.
CLEAN – The detector if grease or dust accumulates once a year. Remove
the cover and the 9volt battery. Clean dust from sensing chamber
openings with a vacuum and soft brush attachment. Replace the
battery and depress the test switch. The alarm should sound briefly. If
it does not work, try a new 9volt battery.
SERVICE – If the detector does not work send it to the manufacturer or its
repair center.
DO NOT
attempt to make the repairs yourself (other
than battery replacement).
What to do when fire alarm sounds
WARNING – Never ignore any alarm. If the alarm sounds and you are not
absolutely certain of the source of the smoke, get everyone out of the travel
trailer immediately. Leave immediately by your plan of escape. Every
second counts, Do Not waste time getting dressed or picking up valuables.
Feel doors before opening them to see if they are hot. If a door is cool, open
it slowly and check for fire and heat before you proceed. Do Not open a hot
door – use an alternate escape route.
Stay close to the floor if air is smoky. Take short shallow breaths through a
wet cloth if possible. Do Not return to your trailer, until fire officials say
that it is safe.
Once outside, go to your selected meeting place and make sure everyone is
there. Call the Fire Department from outside of the travel trailer with the
activated alarm, at a safe location.
