9. CARRY TWO FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
A car or caravan fire is a frightening thing, and they regularly result in property loss, serious injury and, in extreme cases, death. You need to have the ability to extinguish a fire before it gets out of control. Having a fire extinguisher in your car and caravan within easy reach means you should always have access to at least one in the event the other has a fire. Keep in mind that small fire extinguishers will only put out a small fire. Once fire takes hold of a car or caravan, it will grow and spread very quickly. In this case, the safer option is to stand clear, ensure all your travel companions are accounted for and call the fire brigade.
Even our dog knows how important it is to regularly check your fire extinguisher!
These smaller fire extinguishers are cheap and easy to use but they can’ t put out a large fire once it’ s taken hold.
