Fire Extinguisher
It is recommended that a dry powder fire

all times.

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.

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.
