FIRE SAFETY
The hazard and possibility of fire exists in all areas
of life, and the recreational life-style is no exception.
Your motor home is a complex machine made up of
many materials - some of them flammable. But like
most hazards, the possibility of fire can be minimiz-
ed, if not totally eliminated, by recognizing the danger
and practicing common sense safety and maintenance
habits.
Fires are generally caused by unattended food cook-
ing on the stove or in the oven, faulty or damaged
wiring and electrical devices, fuel leaks (both gasoline
and LPG), or carelessness. Under the right cir-
cumstances, almost anything can be destroyed by fire.
The fire extinguisher furnished with your motor home
is rated for Class B (gasoline, grease, flammable li-
quids) and Class C (electrical) fires since these are
the most common types of fires in vehicles. Read the
instructions on the fire extinguisher. Know how and
when to use it.
Consider these fire safety suggestions:
*
Before refueling your motor home or any generator
fuel tank that may be installed on or in your motor
home, be sure to turn off all pilot flames and ap-
pliances in your motor home. "Explosive fuel clouds
may be present at fuel filling stations.
*
If you experience a fire while traveling, MAINTAIN
CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU CAN
SAFELY STOP IT. EVACUATE THE VEHICLE AS
QUICKLY AND SAFELY AS POSSIBLE.
20
* If you experience a fire while camped, EVACUATE
THE VEHICLE AS QUICKLY AND SAFELY AS
POSSIBLE.
*
Consider the cause and severity of the fire and
the risk involved before trying to put it out. If the
fire is major or is fuel-fed, stand clear of the vehi-
cle and wait for the fire department or other
emergency assistance.
*
If your motor home is damaged by fire, do not drive
it or live in it until you have thoroughly examined
it, found the cause of the fire, and fixed it.

home as a warning device. See "APPLIANCES" sec-
