Remember you take holidays, fires don't
Motorhome and caravan fires can spread extremely fast.
Therefore it is very important to have the correct fire procedures in place to prevent an unpleasant end to your holidays.
You should have a smoke alarms installed. This will give you time to escape.
These need to be tested every week and batteries checked to ensure they are working.
Early warning of fire - saves lifes
Motorhome appliances need to be checked also, including gas and electrics, especially if the motorhome hasn't been used in a long time.
Cooking Safety
Never leave your cooker unattended.
Turn pot handles inwards - protect you and your children.
If a chip pan catches fire - Never throw water on it, turn the heat off if it is safe to do so. If it is safe throw a damp towl on it.
Electrics
Ensure electrical wiring is in good order. Ideally this should be checked regularly by an qualified approved contractor - PIR will ensure safe wiring.
Do not use multi adaptors.
Ensure all appliances, TV etc are switched off at night or while you are away from the vehicle.
Do not run appliances from a light socket.
The list go's on and on, in the end common sense prevails, use it wisely and safely.
The threat of fire in a Caravan/Motorhome is often overlooked.
How often do you see a caravan go up in flames?
Well, if you consider that a caravan has a greater ratio of combustible materials per square metre than almost any other type of dwelling, the risk of fire is high and you might think again.
Fire prevention is highly important, as is common sense!
Where possible, turn off your gas cylinder at night, use your electric heater instead.
Ensure that the rubber seals of the regulator, and the rubber hose leading from it, are in top condition, and that there are no cracks as these are potential weak spots where gas leaks could occur.
It is essential that all gas appliances in your caravan are checked regularly for any faults.
