If you own an RV in southern California, then you may want to learn about the different fire systems that you can use to protect it. When we think of fire safety, we usually think of homes and businesses, but fires can happen anyplace, even in your RV. Fires in RVs may be less frequent than home or office fires, but they can be just as deadly.
Therefore, it is important to take whatever precautions necessary to keep your family and friends safe while they are in the vehicle. Installing smoke detectors is one of the most important steps you can take to stay safe from fire. You will want to install both kinds of smoke detectors--ionic and photoelectric, or a combination smoke detector which serves the dual purpose of both.
Ionic smoke detectors protect against flaming fires, while photoelectric smoke detectors protect against slower, smoldering fires. When you mount them, be sure to put them near the ceiling.
And of course fire extinguishers are crucial in case of fire in your RV. If the fire that breaks out is small, you may be able to bring it under control with a fire extinguisher. The fire extinguisher in your RV should be easy to access, with nothing blocking it in any way. Do not hang anything on the extinguisher, and be sure to have it check regularly for proper function. It is also a good idea to practice with your extinguisher so that you know how to use it.
Finally, as part of your fire safety plan for your RV, consider installing carbon monoxide detectors. This odorless, tasteless, and colorless gas is a deadly gas produced when certain types of fuel is burned, including gasoline. A carbon monoxide detector in your RV will detect unsafe levels of this gas and alert you.
