FIRE PRECAUTIONS
The safety features built into your new trailer will be of the little value if fi re should
strike, and you and your family are not prepared. Every member of your family should
know how to prevent fi res and how to escape if a fi re occurs.
Before a Fire Starts
• Remove trash and stored items of outlived usefulness, particularly from the vicinity
of furnaces and heaters and from hallways and exit areas.
• Exercise care in the use of electricity. Do not overload electrical outlets with many
appliances, use only appropriate fuses, and do not hang electrical cords over nails or
run under carpets. Have cords replaced when they begin to fray or crack and have
electrical work done by competent electricians.
• Do not store gasoline or fl ammable cleaners in glass containers which can break, and
avoid storing them inside the trailer. Do not keep more fl ammable liquids on hand
than you really need.
• To avoid the danger of spontaneous ignition, dispose of rags wet with oil, polishes,
or other fl ammable liquids in outdoor garbage cans.
• Inspect your trailer often for these and other hazards.
• Plan for escape from every area of the trailer; discuss escape routes with your family,
and actually rehearse escape. You might have to fi nd your way out in thick smoke or
darkness.
• Learn how to extinguish common fi res in early stages. Your unit is equipped with a
fi re extinguisher. Everyone should know how to operate it. The gauge on the ex-
tinguisher shows whether it needs to be replaced. It should be checked regularly. A
minor (kitchen) fl are-up may be extinguished with ordinary baking soda. It’s inex-
pensive, easy to clean up, and has lots of other uses.
NEVER
use water.
• Clothing afi re is a prelude to tragedy. Do not wear (or permit children to wear) loose,
frilly garments if there is any chance at all of accidental contact with a stove burner
or other source of fi re.
• Exercise extreme care with smoking materials and matches, major causes of destruc-
tive fi re. Do not leave these where children can reach them.
IF A FIRE STARTS AND YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT ABOUT WHETHER YOU CAN
EXTINGUISH IT,
IMMEDIATELY
GET EVERYONE OUT OF THE TRAILER AND
A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH.
NEVER
REENTER A BURNING TRAILER.
• If you see, smell, or hear any hint of fi re, evacuate everyone immediately, but don’t
compound tragedy by attempting a rescue through a gauntlet of fl ames or thick
smoke. Call the fi re department as soon as possible. Don’t attempt to extinguish a fi re
unless it is confi ned to a small area and your extinguishing equipment is equal to the
task.
