A welcome shower can bring relief, but it doesn’t automatically make your property safe from fire.
Rainfall can vary considerably over short distances. Your neighbour’s downpour may have barely reached your land, and green growth can hide dry grass, leaf litter and other combustible material.

☀️ When sunshine, heat and dry winds return, fine dead fuels can dry out quickly , allowing fire risk to increase again.

Before undertaking any burning:
✅ Check your local Fire Danger Index (FDI) and weather forecast.
✅ Assess the vegetation and moisture conditions on your property.
✅ Confirm current burning requirements with your local FPA.
✅ Ensure your team and equipment are ready should conditions change.

Enjoy the rain, but keep assessing the risk. Check the conditions of the fuel load before you burn

South Africa’s Working on Fire (WoF) programme plays a role in Integrated Fire Management, combining environmental protection with employment, training and skills development.

From reducing fuel loads and suppressing uncontrolled veldfires to rehabilitating damaged landscapes and educating communities, WoF teams help to contribute to building a safer, more fire-resilient South Africa. 🌱👨🚒

How does this work with FPAs?

Fire Protection Associations help coordinate local fire prevention, preparedness and response. Working on Fire can complement these efforts by providing trained firefighting personnel and other resources through applicable operational arrangements, particularly valuable where local capacity is limited.

🤝 Working together makes a difference. WoF, FPAs, landowners and fire services each have a role to play in protecting lives, livelihoods and our landscapes.

Working on Fire aims to support the broader fire management system; it does not replace the responsibilities of landowners or the coordinating role of FPAs.

Not tomorrow. Not when the next fire warning arrives. Today.

Take 10 minutes this week to ask yourself:
✅ Does everyone know who to call when a fire starts?
✅ Can your team access the right firefighting equipment?
✅ Are your firebreaks and access routes ready for use?
✅ Do you know your local FPA's reporting procedure?
✅ Can you communicate your location and the fire's spread quickly?

A fire plan is only useful if people know how to put it into action.

As we move into the hotter months, update your check lists, be prepared and don't wait for a fire emergency to discover what's missing.

Ten minutes of preparation today could make a critical difference tomorrow.

The traditional fire season may be nearing its end, but that doesn't mean it's time to let your guard down.

With hotter, drier conditions expected in the months ahead, KwaZulu-Natal's landowners and communities need to remain alert.

🌱 Don't assume your veld is safe because the season is changing.
🌡️ Check local Fire Danger Index (FDI) information.
🚜 Review your firebreaks, equipment and emergency plans.
📢 Report fires early and follow your local FPA's guidance.
