What could be nicer than celebrating Valentine’s Day with the Drakenstein Fire Brigade. The mercury rising to 38°C provided the perfect opportunity for a water-spray display at La Rochelle Girls’ Primary School. The little Larries had lots of fun and judging by the questions they asked, learned quite a lot too. The school wants to give a sincere word of thanks and appreciation goes out to all the staff members of the Drakenstein Fire and Rescue. “You work 24-hour shifts under the worst circumstances, sacrificing time you could have spent with your families, to keep our Little Larries safe.” To coincide with the school’s theme for 2022, “Have courage and be kind”, the girls each contributed R5 to a fund for the fire brigade. The men and women, who are currently experiencing a busy fire season again, will soon be spoiled. Suminé Vlok (Grade 1) and Bilqees Rawood (Grade 6) are “trained” by fire-brigade personnel to hold a fire hose.
