When it comes to enjoying our time in our vehicles part of the pleasure lies in cooking on the BBQ – or inside in our own kitchen – and chatting with fellow ‘vanners’. Then after a few beverages retiring to our comfy bed just a few feet away. All home from home.
However, fuel canisters, gas bottles, leisure batteries, electrical wiring and cooking in small spaces all pose increased risks of fire. Being in close proximity to neighbours and their equipment and activities is another potential hazard. Hopefully nothing does catch alight, but if it did do you have a fire extinguisher to hand? And if so, is it the correct type?
Traditional fire extinguishers are often pressurised and therefore need yearly servicing – at a cost – and/or have a limited life. Powder for example is also very damaging to both surfaces and lungs and can cause more damage than a small fire. What most people don’t realise is that the usage time of a 3.5kg extinguisher can be as little as 7 seconds -– providing it has been serviced and the contents haven’t compressed of course. Not long to extinguish a fire! And you have to know what type of fire it is before you use a pressurised extinguisher. Using powder for example on a frying pan full of oil will propel the flaming oil all over the place making matters considerably worse.
With the Fire Safety Stick you do not have to worry about what type of fire it as it can used on ALL major types of fire. Being non-pressurised it needs no servicing or maintenance and lasts over 50 seconds once activated – or 100 seconds depending on model. With its 15 year shelf life it won’t expire and is saving you money on servicing costs. The gas emitted from the Fire Safety Stick is nitrogen based so won’t damage surfaces and won’t harm you if breathed in. Having no trigger to hold down it can be placed in a confined space once activated and will carry on working, meaning you don’t have to put yourself at risk in toxic smoke and fumes which may come from the fire. Each Fire Safety Stick is small and lightweight and comes with its own mounting bracket so can be mounted in a convenient space. Having one by the kitchen and one by the sleeping area in larger vans is a sensible precaution.
