3.5 What to do if a hose caught fire

Should a hose catch fire despite all protective measures, it is not enough to just switch the
unit off, because oxygen will continue to flow for a while after the unit has been switched off.
Take the following steps:
–
Pull the oxygen hose off the unit to interrupt the oxygen supply.
–
Choke the flames (e.g. with a blanket).
–
Ventilate well after extinguishing the fire, because a burning PVC-hose will emit
toxic gases.
The metal connection on the oxygen outlet acts as a fire inhibitor, preventing the flames from
spreading into the unit.
