RV Fire Safety

Did you know that there are close to 20,000 RV Fires reported each year? A large percentage of these fires on motor homes are transmission related fires. Automatic transmission can ignite leaking transmission fluid, and rapidly spread if it contacts any part of the exhaust system. Your RV for any signs of leaking fluid under observation before traveling. Any potential leaks checked out and repaired immediately.

On RV Fire 25 percent reduction in 12-volt electrical system are caused. Not only do you need a fire extinguisher, you inspect it before every trip to the need to make sure it is charged. Sight gauge to see if the arrow is pointing in the green look. If it reads empty or needs to charge to replace it or encouraged it immediately. If it is a dry powder type fire extinguisher in green indicates that it is not guaranteed to work is not always the arrow. Every month you should turn dry powder extinguishers upside down, tap on the bottom of the extinguisher and shake it. It's like a drum like a hollow, should sound. If not, continue tapping on it until it sounds hollow and the powder that settled at the bottom is released.

There are four different types, or fire extinguishers, A, B, C and D classes, and each type is for a specific type of fire.

Class A extinguishers simple as paper and wood for fuel because of the fire is.

Class B extinguishers oil, gasoline and oil to large fires such as flammable liquids are used.

Class C fire extinguishers due to the electrical equipment is used to.

Class D extinguishers are used to fire on flammable metals and often they are specific to the type of metal is.

Something like fire extinguishers, AB BC, or ABC, which means a fire extinguisher to put out different types of fires can be used multi-category ratings. National Fire Protection Agency rules RV A "BC" rated fire extinguisher near the exit will be. "BC" rated fire extinguishers, flammable liquids and oil, gasoline and oil are used for such gasses, and for electrical fires. Many RV The fire inside an RV are type common combustibles like paper, due to a fire, and they put them out for a Type A fire extinguisher is required. That, in my opinion over a fire extinguisher for your RV needs.

It's a good one outside storage compartment where it is easily accessible, a BC Type fire extinguisher to keep the idea. You a fire extinguisher inside the RV BC And RV types inside type should keep a fire extinguisher. If you tow a trailer and tow vehicle in BC Type fire extinguisher the City.

Available after the fire is a great idea, but they are useless if you know what other RV travel in the type of fire they are used to and not to use them properly to people. Everyone will get together in the RV, and make sure they fire you have and where they are located in an emergency situation to understand the different types.

Old style labeling for fire extinguishers, to designate what type of fire they are used for the letters A, B, C or D was with

New labeling style to fire a fire is used for designating the type of the picture.

If the fire can be used for many types of fire it can be used for and what it can not be used for the picture through a red diagonal line will be displayed for the kind of pictures .

Once everyone understands the different types of fire extinguishers the next step to teach everyone the right to use a fire extinguisher is. There are different types and sizes of fire extinguishers, but for the most part they all work the same way. To teach to remember every word. It is an easy to remember how to use a fire extinguisher, especially during an emergency, there is a way. To pull, aim squeeze, and sweep stands for.

Pull the pin at the top of the extinguisher.

Aim nozzle on the fire.

Squeeze the handle, stands about 8 feet away from the fire.

If you want to prevent the release handle.

The tip back and forth until it is out sweep by fire.

Fire Inspections sure it does not re-ignite to create.

Last but certainly not least you need an emergency escape plan. National Fire Protection Agency requires that the RV Emergency escape windows. Sure everyone knows where the escape window is located and how to use it. This is a good idea to practice using it so you get out of RV in the event of an emergency to get familiar with the idea. RV and RV in front of you To the back of an escape plan should be.

Most importantly, do not risk, your personal safety or the safety of others to try to put out a fire. The first step for everyone to get out RV And safely away from fire. Someone call 911 for help, and if you do not fire within the first minute or so professionals can put it out.
