Fire at the Resort and RV Fires
 
Precautions

There are steps that can be taken to minimize the dangers associated with fires, including safe fire procedures. Some precautions include:
•    Ensuring campfires are placed within the designated campfire pits only.
•    Ensuring campfires are extinguished properly. Remember: Soak it. Stir it. Soak it again.
•    BBQs are safely placed away from potential hazards, and grease pans are properly cleaned.
•    Propane is stored only in the designated areas according to the Pinnacle Trails Resort Bylaws.
•    Ignitions of motor vehicles and recreational vehicles are turned off when not in use.
•    Heating mechanisms are not used unless allowed according to the Pinnacle Trails Resort Bylaws.
•    Keep matches, lighters and candles away from small children.
•    Make sure everyone knows how to use emergency exits and fire extinguishers.
•    Make sure your heating and electrical systems are working properly and are maintained, and carefully follow the instructions.
•    Do not overload your electrical outlets.
•    Regularly ensure your fire alarms are in working order.
 
In Case of Fire in Your RV

•    Immediately assess the problem to assist you in exiting away from the source of the fire.
•    Locate the nearest fire extinguisher.
•    Get everyone out of the RV immediately.
•    Do not take any belongings with you.
•    Call 911 (if the fire is not extinguished).
•    Give your name, site number and contact number to emergency services.
•    Describe the type of fire (wood, chemical, electrical, etc.).
•    State whether there are any known injuries.
•    If safe, turn off the electricity and propane on the campsite.
•    Tell all surrounding residents of the impending danger.
•    Ensure all guests have been evacuated from the campsite and surrounding campsites.
 
In Case of Fire in the Resort

Notify the site manager immediately. If the fire cannot be extinguished with a fire extinguisher or accessible water supply or is spreading quickly, call 911. Evacuate the area and gather at the muster point if safe to do so. Do not take any belongings with you.

Should your clothing catch fire: First stop… then drop… then roll… never run. If a rug or blanket is nearby, use it to cover yourself and the fire.

Tornado or High Winds

Know the terms and danger signs:
•    Tornado watch: indicates a tornado is possible. Watch the sky and stay tuned to the weather radio/TV.
•    Tornado warning: signifies a tornado has been sighted by weather radar. Take shelter immediately.
If you are in a vehicle, trailer or mobile home, get out immediately. Go to the lowest floor of a sturdy, nearby building if available. If this is not an option, then lie flat in a nearby ditch or depression and cover your head with your hands.
Be aware of flying debris, potential flooding and fire.
 
Lightning

If you see a lightning flash and hear thunder in less than 30 seconds, a strike in your area is highly likely.
Seek shelter in a sturdy building, automobile, trailer or motor home. Avoid isolated trees.
Avoid contact with any body of water.
Avoid using electrical equipment or appliances.

Flood

Know the elevation of your location in relation to nearby streams, rivers and lakes.
Have several escape routes planned.

When rising water threatens, move your RV to higher ground.
Never drive through flooded roadways. Do not bypass or go around barricades.
Take your emergency disaster supplies kit with you.
Return to your RV site only when authorities say the danger of more flooding is over.
If fresh food has come in contact with flood waters, throw it out.
Do not reconnect to water, sewer or electricity until park management has authorized you to do so.

Checklist for Emergency Procedures
 
Planning Checklist
Meet with your family and guests regularly and discuss why you need to prepare for emergencies. Explain the dangers of fire, severe weather and medical emergencies to all family members and discuss the steps that need to be taken. The following may be used in creating your own family plan:
•    Discuss what to do in an evacuation.
•    Pick an alternative location to meet in the event a family member cannot return to a campsite.
•    Pick one out-of-province and one local friend or relative family members can call in the event of an emergency.
•    Instruct family members to have a battery-powered radio for emergencies.
•    Teach children how and when to call 911 and their emergency contact.
•    Train in basic first aid and CPR procedures.
•    Prepare a disaster supply kit.
•    Learn and review the Resort's evacuation routes.
 
Emergency Supply Checklist

Residents and guests are encouraged to be prepared for emergencies, including preparing and inspecting an emergency supply kit at least once per year. Although many items for short-term emergencies are available at the Resort, you may want to include the following items in your kit:
•    3–5 gallons of fresh drinking water
•    Emergency food supplies (2–3 days for you and your family, such as dry and canned foods)
•    Matches and lighters
•    Blankets or sleeping bags
•    First aid kit
•    Waterproof covers and tarp
•    Additional clothing for each family member (including clothing for cold weather)
•    Flashlight and batteries
•    Fire extinguisher
•    Candles
•    Pocket knife and tools (screwdriver, pliers, hammer, shovel)
•    50 ft of utility rope
•    Sewing kit
•    Whistle
•    Tape
•    Baby supplies (spare formula, batteries, baby food)

Although many of these supplies may never be needed, given the location of the Resort and the availability of nearby amenities, it is always a good idea to be prepared for an emergency.
