All RV’s are required by Garfield County to have a fire extinguisher. In the event you do not
have one you are required to rent one at the office. Please contact the manager.
An evacuation plan is contained on the Site Map you were given when you entered the park. In
the event of an evacuation follow staff or emergency personnel instruction. Proceed to CR 300
and the Battlement mesa Recreation Center unless instructed oterhwise.
In the event of a fire or emergency call 911 and inform them of your location and the type of
emergency.
In the event of a non fire emergency you will be informed of an evacuation by Park Staff or
other emergency personnel. Follow their instructions.
If there is a fire in your area leave the area in your car or walk out. Do not hook up your RV
under any conditions unless told to do so by management or the proper authority. Fires spread
quickly and not leaving the area as quickly as possible could result in great bodily injury or
death. There are three egresses from the Park. The first is the main entrance road. If this is
blocked for some reason you may leave via the East exit and proceed to adjoining two exits, to
CR 300. In addition there in an emergency exit from the north end of the park to CR 300. See
map. Never block the exits and yield to all emergency vehicles. You may walk out as required
through any of the surrounding areas.
In Case of Fire in Your RV
Make a fire-escape plan and keep your escape routes free of obstructions. Practice
this plan often, and keep these pointers in mind; they will tell you pointers from those
who know what it takes to get out alive:
a) Stay calm.
b) Sound a warning.
c) If you awaken to a smoke-filled room, crawl below the smoke to safety.
d) Check the doors to see if they are warm. A warm door may mean that there is a
fire on the other side. Use an alternate exit, if possible.
e) Get everyone out; wrap children in blankets if necessary-don't take time to get
dressed.
f) Close the doors behind you as you evacuate. This will slow down the fire.
g) If it is safe to do so, turn off all appliances as you leave.
h) If your hair or clothing should catch on fire, smother the flames with a towel,
blanket or other thick material, or stop, drop and roll out the flames. Get medical
attention as soon as possible.
i) Call the Fire Department from a safe location. Do not delay.
THINK FAST AND ACT WITH CAUTION: When you first discover a fire determine what
to do immediately. If the fire is small and you have the proper fire extinguishers, PUT
IT OUT. You May also use the hose that has been supplied at your site.
SOUND THE ALARM: Do not underestimate any fire. If the fire is too much for you to
handle, report it immediately. Call 911.
WARN THE PEOPLE: Warn all people in the area immediately so they can get to places
of safety. This is especially important in the case of fires in buildings.
STAND BY: Stay near, but at a safe distance from the fire. Meet and tell the fire
fighters where the fire is. They can waste valuable minutes if they have to find it
themselves.
FIRE FIGHTING: Everyone is responsible for preventing fires. But everyone is not
obligated to fight major fires. In general, never join in the fire fighting unless your help
is requested by the firemen.
CORRECT EXTINGUISHERS: Different fire extinguishers are recommended for each
type of fire. For CLASS A fires (wood, textiles, rubbish) use foam or water. For CLASS B
fires (grease, motor vehicle, and flammable liquids) use foam, dry chemical, carbon
dioxide or vaporizing liquid. NEVER use a water-type extinguisher on live electrical
equipment. You can be electrocuted instantly by the electrical current following the
water stream to your body. NEVER throw a stream of water on a CLASS B fire. You can
splatter flaming liquids over a wide area, spreading the fire out of control.
28. POTABLE WATER & WASTE SYSTEM NOTICE
In event of the failure or a period of repair of potable water and waste treatment systems,
management will inform you to utilize your on board facilities. If the problem is not resolved in
24 to 48 hours your contract with the park will be terminated and you will receive a refund, at
which time you will be expected to leave the park.

damage or expense, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, which (either

any hazardous substances on or under RVer's Premises, other home sites in the Park or any
other areas of the Park.

the person making the complaint. All community business is conducted during posted business
hours. All repair or maintenance requests regarding common areas shall be submitted in
writing to Park Management, and RVer shall not give instructions directly to Park staff. RVer
