Hopefully you will never need to use it but make sure you have an escape plan if the worst was to happen. Having a smoke alarm is the first step but make sure you know what to do if it is activated.
Try and keep calm and get everyone out as soon as possible. Don’t try to tackle the fire. You can prepare for this by having a regular walk through of your escape route so it is fresh in everyone’s mind.
Make sure you keep door and window keys where they can be easily located. It is good practice to have a break glass hammer in your caravan/mobile home in case of an emergency.
If there is smoke then try and keep as low as possible (below smoke layer) as the air is clearer here. As soon as possible call the fire and rescue service and do not re enter the caravan. Always keep your exits clear of any trip hazards to ensure a fast and practical escape.
