FIRE EXTINGUISHER
Underwriter Laboratories classify fires into three types:
C Clla assss A A:: Fires in wood, paper, fabric, rubber, and certain plastics
C Clla assss B B:: Flammable liquids such as grease, cooking oils, gasoline, or kerosene
C Clla assss C C:: Electrical fires started from live electrical wires, from short circuits motors or switches
The fire extinguisher, which is located by the entry door of the recreation vehicle, 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’, the
extinguisher will not be effective.
To fight a fire with an extinguisher, first remove the tamper tape which covers the discharge push button.
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 nontoxic, 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.
