Have you got a fire extinguisher!

[Sidney]

I had a fire in my motorhome. Two tea light candles had fallen down the vent at the rear of the oven. Items that fall down here often sit on top of the grill. Use the grill and you get a fire.

I used a halon fire extinguisher. These are no longer available to the public due to the effects on the hole in the ozone.

Remember the hole in the ozone? That was big news once!

I have been to at least 2 x house fires caused by the use of, and lack of observation/supervision of these horrible dangerous pieces of kit. :Angry:

I don't condone their use, in any shape or form.................however, each to their own I suppose. :Sad: I'm just glad that you are still around to tell the tale Sidney. :thumb:

I have recently been getting quotes for my campervan and was asked by one company if it had a fire extinguisher to which i replied "of course" I expect you lucky people with shiney new vans will all have the said item but i was wondering if mabe some of the more 'mature' vans like mine may be without one and therefore could be jeapodising there insurance policy without realising it. oh: I do have a fire blanket so could make a feeble attempt to put a fire out but would probably just take the easy option and run like hell

IF MY VAN WHERE TO CATCH FIRE

I would run away and not get too close
have you seen how fast they go up ???
a little fire extinguisher that is on board would be of no help at all
i might as well just stand there and pee on the fire for what good it would do

from ignition to full burn out in less than three minuets
and temperatures above 1000degC
then the toxic fumes
all a bad thing to get to close too

so if your van catches fire oh:
get as far away as you can :thumb:
(get the potatoes out and have them when the flames have died down)

ho and Call 999

Absolutely spot on Motorhomelover...........apart from the bit about the spuds. Some folks prefer Chestnuts, or Marshmallows.

Cheers,
