Fire Extinguisher

It is recommended that a dry powder fire
extinguisher be carried inside your motorhome
at all times.
When using a dry powder extinguisher it is
suggested that the motorhome be evacuated
until the powder has settled, to avoid
inhalation.
A fat pan fire should not have a fire
extinguisher aimed at it. It should be
smothered with a fire blanket.
!
WARNING: Provide one dry powder
fire extinguisher of an approved type or
complying with ISO 7165, of at least 1kg
capacity, by the main exterior door and a fire
blanket next to the cooker.
Familiarise yourself with the instructions
on your fire extinguisher and the local fire
precaution arrangements.

Escape paths

It is important that you do not block escape
paths to emergency exits with obstructions
or hazards.

Children

Do not leave children alone in the motorhome
in any event. Keep potentially dangerous
items out of reach, as at home e.g. matches,
drugs etc.
