Fire Extinguisher
It is recommended that a dry powder fire
extinguisher be carried inside your caravan at
all times.
When using a dry powder extinguisher it is
suggested that the caravan 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.
