Fire Extinguishers!
I was reading a thread on another forum regarding fire extinguishers and it made me think that I've rarely seen the topic on RV forums. Of course, when we buy an RV, it comes with a fire extinguisher ...

Fire blankets
Fire blankets are made of fire-resistant materials. They are particularly useful for smothering fat pan fires or for wrapping around a person whose clothing is on fire.
The fire blanket will be marked to show whether it should be thrown away after use or used again after cleaning, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
A fire blanket or damp cloth should be used on a fat pan fire.
Fire blankets should be kept in the kitchen.
Do not put your blanket too close to your cooker. You may not reach it in the event of a fire.
Always place the fire blanket near an escape route so that you have the option to walk away and contact the Fire and Rescue Service if you feel the fire is too large to tackle.
On board ship US NAVY and in Power Plants they were stationed near fuel oil & lubricating oil areas.
When I look them up some of them are not very expensive. I may consider buying a couple. One for the house and one for the RV.
Excellent tool to wrap oneself/loved ones in and get out to safety.
I have fought fires.
I am no longer placed in that situation of 'having to'.
NOW I can choose to or not.
I choose not........getting away safely is my priority. Fire blankets are cheap tools. They can also be used to smother a fire.
Hadn't thought about them in years. Glad 'Travelbug1' mentioned them.
Looks like I have some shopping to do also.
