If a fire does start, make sure to follow the basic rules of safety:
1. Have everyone evacuate the RV as quickly as possible
2. After everyone is clear, check the fire to see if you can attempt to put it out. If it is large, or the fire is fuel
fed, get clear of the RV and have the fire department handle the emergency.
3. DO NOT attempt to use water to put out the fire. Water can spread some types of fire, and
electrocution is possible with an electrical fire.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
UNDERWRITER LABORATORIES CLASSIFY FIRES INTO THREE TYPES:
Class A – Fires in wood, paper, fabric, rubber, and certain plastics.
Class B – Flammable liquids such as grease, cooking oils, gasoline, or kerosene.
Class C – Electrical fires started from live electrical wires, from short circuited motors or switches.
The fire extinguisher provided with the RV is a chemical type suitable for extinguishing small fires of the class
B or C type. Extinguishers are designed to put out fires in the initial stage, not when it is blazing out of control. If
a fire cannot be approached within 10’, your extinguisher will not be effective.
To fight a fire with an extinguisher, first remove the tamper tape which covers the discharge push button. The
extinguisher does not need shaking. Hold it upright and stand six to ten feet from the fire with a clear path to an
exit. Press the button down all the way, aimed at the base of the fire and spray with quick motions from side to
side.
Avoid inhaling the dry chemicals. Although non toxic, they could cause temporary irritation and vomiting.
When the fire is out, clean up the area as soon as possible. The dry chemicals are non-corrosive, but some
residue may cause surface damage if left too long.
In the case of an electrical fire, disconnect the battery and throw off the main circuit in the unit. It is important
that everyone knows where to find the main circuit and how it operates. If the shoreline power cord is
connected, disconnect it.
