It occurs to me to ask. Do your wife and kids know how to
operate a fire extinguisher? No telling the man of the house
will be home when some thing goes wrong.

No, men who live in trailers spend a lot of time away. grin

Seriously, a trailer burns so fast an extinguisher is a waste of time. You have 60 seconds max to get your loved ones out, and the wife and kids too.

A manufactured home should be burnt to the ground, on account of they're all
fulla trailer park trash.

what makes you think that most "men of the house" know how to properly use a
fire extinguisher?

That body must be fiberglass? Hence all the black smoke...

Yes. And so my neighbors...

"One-third of the injuries in vehicle fires occur when people attempt to
extinguish the fire themselves. The safest way of handling an engine
fire is to wait for the fire department to arrive and extinguish it. Do
not attempt to open your hood if smoke or fire is emitting from it as
the increased amount of oxygen can cause the fire to accelerate."

[...]

"A noisy muffler, smoke emitting from your tailpipe or exhaust
backfiring can also signal a fire hazard. Get your vehicle checked out
by a mechanic so you dont become another fire statistic."

The driver had driven to a shop because of backfiring. They told him it
was okay to drive.

You totally got me. I'd be mistaken in a huge
way, shape, and form. Thank you.

That sixty seconds provides a bit of time
to get out the trusty Amerex, and do your
best. I'd rather lose my trailer under a
big pile of empty water cans and dry chem
units. I tried, and then threw all the empties
onto the embers.

Lot to be said for dump the extinguisher
fully, and then get back a very safe distance.

Looks like it could take a lot longer than 60 seconds.

In the second video, about escape, Mac the Fire Guy recommends using the
extinguisher on yourself.

I've read about what that stuff does to your lungs. I'll pass.

Ideally, a good shot of adrenaline, and the oldies
would move faster. Thank you for a good video. I
do think that testing the escape hatch is a great
idea. Some thing like dielectric grease around the
edges would help slow down corrosion.

How many people can tell difference between foam
and dry chem? How many people actually HAVE a foam
fire extg? I'd not want to foam myself, I'd be
slippery and fall out of the window. Besides, the
time used for foaming might be used for escaping.

This elderly talking head is both boring, and
also losing credibility in my estimation.
