Fire prevention - Cape Nature
Loading player...
The Western Cape is one of the worst-affected veld fire areas in the country, with fires a natural phenomenon in summer. However, too frequent fires may have a negative effect on the biodiversity and on ecosystem services such as water production.
All fires start small, but when the weather is hot, dry and windy, a small fire can quickly become a threat to life and property. The Western Cape fire season occurs during the hot, dry summer month and both residents and visitors to the province need to be vigilant and careful when dealing with fires or any other burning material.
One of the main causes of fires is a lack of knowledge. Help us spread the message of safety by being fire aware.
