When siting your caravan it is important to try and site it at least six metres away from others, therefore lowering the risk of fire spread. It is also important to keep your caravan ventilated and don't block any air vents. If you are on a caravan site get to know where all the fire fighting media is located.
You may wish to consider having a fire extinguisher. This can minimise the risk of fire spreading. You need to ensure that everyone knows how to use it. We would recommend a dry powder extinguisher as it will tackle most small fires.
If you are on a caravan site, a fully charged Water or AFFF Foam fire extinguisher should be located in the caravan near an exit door and a fire blanket should be adjacent to the cooking area.
