Nog twee brande het in die Helderberg uitgebreek en verwoesting gesaai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Stad Kaapstad se brandweer-en-red\u00addings\u00addienste is gekontak nadat \u2019n brand verlede Donderdag (27 Januarie) by Strandfoam se fabriek uitgebreek het en nog \u2019n voorval Sondag (30 Januarie) vier Firgrove-inwoners haweloos gelaat het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierdie voorvalle volg nadat Distriks\u00adPos<\/i> verlede week berig het van verskeie brande, onder meer een wat Busamed Paardevlei-privaathospitaal se deure weens skade toegedwing het, en \u2019n ander waarin informele strukture in Lwandle tot op die grond afgebrand het, asook \u2019n veldbrand in die Gants-sentrum, wat sakeondernemings bedreig het (\u201cFirecrews battle sporadic blazes,\u201d 27 Januarie).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Jermaine Carelse, woord\u00advoerder vir die Stad se brandweer-en-reddingsdienste, het brandbestryders verlede Donderdag om 17:19 reageer op die brand wat op die perseel van die plaaslike vervaardiger van poli-uretaan-spons\u00adprodukte vir onder meer matrasse ontstaan het. Brandweerspanne van Strand, Sir Lowry\u2019s Pass, Belhar, Somerset-Wes, Macassar en Kraaifontein is met altesaam agt brandweerwaens en 28 brandbestryders na die toneel net langs Broadlands-pad ontbied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c \u2019n Stoorkamer wat bale spons huisves, is erg beskadig en \u2019n gedeelte van die muur moes afgebreek word om die hitte te laat ontsnap. Brandbestryders het intense hitte in die gesig gestaar terwyl hulle probeer het om die brand in bedwang te bring,\u201d het Carelse ges\u00ea. \u201cDie brand is om 20:18 geblus en geen beserings is aangemeld nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die voorval is die tweede waaronder die Strand-fabriek onlangs gebuk gegaan het. \u2019n Gedeelte van \u2019n gebou wat vir berging gebruik is, is ook in \u2019n brand, wat in September 2020 by Strandfoam uitgebreek het, vernietig (\u201cBlaze partially guts storage facility,\u201d DistriksPos<\/i>, 1 October 2020). Willem van der Westhuizen, Strandfoam se uitvoerende hoof, het die voorval n\u00e1 werk verlede Donderdagmiddag bevestig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie brand het net n\u00e1 17:00 in \u2019n stoorgebou in die verste, agterste hoek van ons fabriek uitgebreek. \u2019n Werkne\u00admer was op pad huis toe, toe hy die rook sien en het die brandweer ontbied en ons brandweerspan by die gebou saamgestel,\u201d het van der Westhuizen ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie brandweer was om 17:20 op die perseel en het dadelik begin om die brand te blus ten spyte daarvan dat dit belemmer is deur naburige gemeenskapslede wat hulle met klippe bestook het. Teen 18:45 was die brand in bedwang gebring en die brandweer het tot 20:17 op bystand gebly voordat hulle vertrek het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Van der Westhuizen is \u2019n gedeelte van die stoor met al sy inhoud heeltemal in puin gel\u00ea, maar gelukkig is geen beserings aangemeld nie. \u201cOns geboue is toegerus met brandmure wat die skade tot net \u2019n klein gedeelte van een gebou beperk het. \u2019n Interne ondersoek na die oorsaak van die brand duur voort. Ons brandprosedure en toerusting word goed onderhou en is op datum.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het verder sy dankbaarheid uitgespreek teenoor die toegewyde werknemers wat n\u00e1 werkure gebly het om te help, asook elke brandbestryder van die Stad se brandweerdienste vir hul professionele dienslewering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brandbestryders is ook ontbied nadat \u2019n informele struktuur in Firgrove Sondag om 15:51 vlamgevat het. Carelse het ges\u00ea brandweermanne van Macassar, Strand en Somerset-Wes het op die toneel in Vierdestraat reageer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEen informele struktuur is heeltemal vernietig en \u2019n formele woning is gedeeltelik deur die brand beskadig met vier mense wat van hul huise ontneem is \u2013 skade aan die woning sluit die dak se kantpanele, muur, twee deure en drie vensters in. Geen beserings is aangemeld nie en die brand is om 16:53 geblus,\u201d het Carelse ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
