Dit was \u2019n besige feestyd vir die Weskus se brandbestryders, wat verskeie brande moes blus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Residensi\u00eble en veldbrande kan groot skade aan eiendom veroorsaak en die lewens van mens en dier in gevaar stel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Weskus-distriksmunisipaliteit (WKDM) se brand-en-reddingspan het onder meer gehelp om hul kollegas van die Kaapse Wynlande- en Drakenstein-munisipaliteite by te staan met brande wat verlede maand in die Paardeberg uitgebreek het. Die brand was in \u2019n gebied met digte 20 jaar oue plantegroei. Ses brandweervoertuie en plaaslike brandbestryders het gehelp om inwoners en hul eiendom te beskerm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Moorreesburg se Sibanye-plein het die distrik se brandweerpersoneel gehelp om n\u00e1 \u2019n vernietigende brand hulp aan inwoners te verleen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kospakkies, komberse en matrasse is saam met gemeenskapsorganisasies aan inwoners, wat hul wonings in die brand verloor het, geskenk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die span het ook bystand gebied aan brandbestryders van Shelley Point en die Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit wat op 2 Januarie die brand by die St. Helenabaai-hotel geblus het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is danksy die gekombineerde pogings van toegewyde brandbestryders van verskeie munisipaliteite dat hierdie brand onder beheer gebring is,\u201d het die munisipaliteit ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Wes-Kaap loop in die somermaande gereeld onder veldbrande deur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens CapeNature kan selfs \u2019n klein brand vinnig vlamvat op warm, dro\u00eb en winderige dae. Dit hou dan \u2019n gevaar vir lewens, eiendom en die natuur in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volg gerus CapeNature se braai- en kampvuur-veiligheidswenke om brande te voorkom:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.<\/span> Moenie vlambare vloeistof bv. petrol of paraffien gebruik om \u2019n vuur mee te begin nie. Gebruik eerder papier, dro\u00eb stukkies hout en vuuraanstekers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n .<\/span> Hou kinders en diere weg van die vlamme en moet hulle nie sonder toesig by die vuur laat nie. Maak ook seker die vuur word nie naby plantegroei gemaak nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n .<\/span> Maak kole van die braaivuur in water nat voordat dit weggegooi word, aangesien die kole lank warm bly. Gooi ook sand oor as en kole totdat alle vonke geblus is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n .<\/span> As jy \u2019n gasbraai het, b\u00eare altyd die gassilinder buite en maak seker dat die klep nie lek nie deur te verseker dat dit behoorlik toegedraai is wanneer dit nie gebruik word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n .<\/span> Moenie \u2019n vuur of smeulende kole sonder toesig laat nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n .<\/span> Moenie kerse, vuurhoutjies of gas binne \u2019n tent gebruik nie. \u2019n Brand kan vinnig ontstaan en mense binne-in kan vasgekeer raak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n .<\/span> Hou altyd \u2019n groot houer met water byderhand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dit was \u2019n besige feestyd vir die Weskus se brandbestryders, wat verskeie brande moes
