The smoke will take you out, you cannot breath through it. Get out, use the extinguisher to break out a window before going to fire and spraying it, do you even know where to apply the spray?
This a good thread, make a plan try it out as much as possible. No plan takes needed seconds to make 1 at the worse time ever. It has been proven if you plan and train ahead of a life threatening situation, your odds of surviving that incident are many times better than not knowing what or how to proceed when your life or your loved ones life is in pearl.

^^^Exactly! Ken, you hit the keynote for this thread.

1. Have an emergency plan - make sure anyone who stays in your trailer knows and understands the plan. This can be done in an informal way around a camp fire - or maybe even a more formal "training session" with the kids and grand kids.

2. Have readily available emergency equipment - smoke detectors, gas detectors, fire extinguishers, etc. Think it through ahead of time and get what you need. Place/mount the equipment where you can easily find and access it when half asleep and under stress. Include equipment orientation in your training plan.

3. Maintain your equipment in working condition. Fresh batteries where needed - regular tests of equipment, etc. Keep some written records (if for no other reason that to help remind you of needed maintenance/testing).

Thanks to everyone for the great responses!
