๐ Following on from yesterdays fire, weโve all had chance to catch our breathe and are very grateful everyone is ok.
We are pleased to say that all went well given the emergency, and all housekeeping is in good order on Blue Dial, but for your information, here are a few reminders to help keep you safe:-
If there is an emergency, make sure everyone is out of the caravan and raise the alarm. Call 999.
Move well away from the area and do not return.
- Make sure your van has a good quality, working smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector. Check them regularly.
-most vans are fitted with an extinguisher, if you have one, make sure it is in good working order, or buy one.
- A fire blanket is always handy, placed in a kitchen.
- Make yourself aware of the many fire extinguishers situated around site and know where your nearest one is.
- All garden sheds, storage and decking should be made of fire retardant materials.
- Donโt leave rubbish lying around or cluttering entrances to your van or immediate area.
- be careful with ci******es and candles
- unplug electrical items when not in use.
- make sure all electrical items are in good working order, never leave any running unattended, especially washers, dryers or dishwashers
- Have your gas check done annually, using a qualified engineer.
- Gas regulators should be under 10 years old.
- make sure you have adequate insurance. Not only for yourself, but for any other vans that may become damaged.
Thankfully emergencies are rare and risks are low, but it is always good to make sure you are prepared. All these measures were observed yesterday, and did contribute to making sure no one was seriously injured. Unfortunately the fire was just too big to contain.
Please be assured, our risks assessments have been reviewed following the incident and we are confident we have everything in place to keep you safe. However, we can only do so much, as your van is privately owned you also have a responsibility to make sure your holiday home is safe for yourselves, your family and other park users.
Thank you
