This is not a new concept. However, we are going to simplify it to the max!
We are appealing to EVERYONE to play a part in supporting the “Adopt A Hydrant” movement. Quite simply, if there is 1 or more fire hydrants near your property which is obstructed or neglected, please “adopt” them by helping us to clear away surrounding vegetation. We would like to have a meter around the hydrant clear, with the vegetation low. The hydrants are painted bright yellow and this will also improve visibility.
It makes a world of difference in an emergency when firefighters need quick and easy access to a hydrant to be able to see them. Remember, we don’t fight fires from hydrants but they are critical for filling the fire trucks that do!
Once you have located your nearest fire hydrant/s that you are willing to adopt, please send us a WhatsApp to
074 1417600 with your name and erf number.
If you are not sure of anything and would like to receive more info, please send your query to the same number.
The Hackers have also kindly gotten involved and will be assisting with hydrant clearing.
Thank you for your support!
