2.5 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.
