Caravan and Boat Safety

Whether you’re the proud owner of a caravan, boat or motorhome, or are planning a camping holiday FireAngel have you covered

Fire safety in caravans, campervans and motorhomes

Having working smoke and heat alarms installed in your leisure vehicle is just as important as having them at home.

There are on average 360 reported fires in caravans and mobile homes each year, due to their construction they offer little protection to stop the fire from spreading.

With many flammable liquids stored in a relatively small space, it is vital you are alerted to the first sign of danger to provide plenty of time to escape.

Fire safety on boats

Often moored in remote or scenic locations with difficult access, it can take firefighters longer to arrive at a boat fire incident. As boat fires often grow rapidly and can spread quickly, every second counts.

Ensure suitable detection with smoke alarms installed to provide vital seconds for crews to escape to safety.

Optical smoke alarms with ‘sealed for life’ batteries are the recommended alarm to install by the national government campaign, Fire Kills. Consider installing alarms that can interlink with one another, so when one sounds, they all sound.

Fit alarms in places you will be able to hear any alerts clearly. No areas of the boat should be further than 5m from an alarm. In the case of large vessels, such as some narrow boats, the dimensions of the vessel may mean a slower reaction time for a single alarm and so you may need to install multiple units for maximum protection.

Always test the smoke alarm when you are setting off on travels and at least monthly as part of routine safety checks.
