Fire Prevention
Fires can be started in a variety of ways including but not limited to careless smoking, malfunction of appliances
or equipment, flammable material on hot surfaces, etc. Fires are best prevented rather than put out. Prevent but
anticipate what to do if they occur. Review the following sections with everyone on a regular basis.
Fire Safety Tips
Establish and maintain good housekeeping practices. Never allow combustible materials to accumulate. 1.
Make sure you store flammable liquids in approved containers in a well-ventilated space.
Make sure you have charged fire extinguishers readily accessible.
2.
Avoid using flammable products in the Motorhome. 3.
Never smoke in bed or when relaxing on the couch. 4.
Do not overload electrical outlets. 5.
Do not leave cooking food unattended. 6.
Keep children away from electrical outlets and LP gas controls. 7.
Never use a naked flame to check for LP gas leaks. If there is a fire, get everyone out of the Motorhome. If possible, 8.
use your fire extinguisher. If possible close all LP gas valves. Call the fire department and stay a safe distance away
from the Motorhome. Do not re-enter the Motorhome until the fire officials declare that it’s safe to do so.
Fire Extinguisher
The fire extinguisher is located in the coach entrance.
Operation
Stay a safe distance from the fire and near an exit. 1.
The chemical from the fire extinguisher will shoot at
least 10 feet. Stay close to the floor to avoid heat and
fumes.
Pull the pin; grasp the fire extinguisher firmly, holding it
2.
in an upright position.
Push the lever down. Aim at the base of the fire,
3.
spraying the entire base area. DO NOT spray at the
smoke or flames.
After the fire is out, watch for “flashback”.
4.
Discharge the fire extinguisher entirely and get it 5.
recharged or replaced immediately. For detailed
information, refer to the fire extinguisher manual
provided in the information kit.
Function
Fire extinguishers are designed to put out a fire in 1.
its initial stages. Once a fire is out of control and you
cannot get within 10 feet (3 m), it is probably too big to
fight with your extinguisher.
Do not discharge your fire extinguisher to test it. Once
2.
it is discharged even for a few seconds it will lose
pressure and become useless.
Check the pressure indicator on your fire extinguisher 3.
periodically. If it loses pressure, the dry chemical
cannot be discharged effectively.
IMPORTANT
If the pointer on the gauge (1) does not indicate in the
green, replace the extinguisher immediately. Record
the inspection date on the tag provided.
