EMERGENCY 021 887 4446

Summer is here with warming temperatures, variable winds and very abnormal thunderstorms (for this time of the year), causing damage as a result of severe wind and hail in some cases. A sign of the effects of climate change????

We have already seen a number of veld fires in the Cape Winelands District, as a result of lightning strikes during these severe weather events….. so could this be a sign of things to come? We will have to wait and see but if we look at what is happening in the rest of the world, especially Mediterranean climate zones such as we are part of, the patterns are an ominous warning and we should take notice.

However we, as an FPA, have been busy during the winter months with a number of prevention activities, including some β€œalien vegetation” clearing, fuel load reduction burns and fire break construction projects.
