Building on Fire
Dispatcher Files
11:08 – On my morning shift I received a call from a AAA Response (TrackBox) Member to say that a building was on fire in Pinetown.
11:11 – No injuries were reported and it was confirmed that firefighters were already on scene trying to bring the fire under control and that Netcare911 were also on scene.
I then published a local alert on the AAA Response (TrackBox) app informing the public to steer clear of the area.
14:38 – We received an update report that firefighters were still busy with the fire.
16:39 – By around 4:30 that afternoon firefighters were able to bring the fire under control.
WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE:
- Crawl or keep low in smoke
- Never open a door that is hot to the touch
- Wake everybody in the house
- If your clothing catches fire – STOP, DROP, ROLL
- Never re-enter the house for personal belongings
- Attempt to put out the fire only if it is safe to do so
It is good practice to display your local Fire Department telephone number near the phone and then memorise it, as well as having a preplanned safe place to meet outside of the house.
