Veld Fire

Dispatchers Files

I received a call from a AAA Response member in Merrivale reporting a grass fire on the N3 near Zeederberg Road. Pmb Fire Station and Metro Police were informed and dispatched. While on route to the scene they were diverted as they came across another fire which warranted their attention. When they arrived on the scene of the grass fire alert they were fortunately able to  quickly get it under control.

Many fires are caused by human carelessness so it is important to take precautions and refrain from littering. Throwing cigarette butts or glass bottles out of your vehicle window while traveling can cause veld fires which can easily escalate to being uncontrollable, and can cause extensive damage. It is also useful when planning a trip during the dry season to check the weather conditions and listen to local radio stations for updates and potential hazard alerts.
