Firefighters and emergency personnel work under extremely challenging conditions, often placing themselves at risk to protect lives, property, and communities. Their ability to respond effectively depends on safe and unhindered access to incident scenes.
๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐๐๐:
โข Do not block access routes since emergency vehicles require clear and immediate access.
โข Allow space for operations and keep a safe distance from active scenes.
โข Do not interfere with equipment or operations in any way.
โข Respect the safety of emergency personnel at all times.
โข Theft, damage, or tampering with emergency equipment will not be tolerated.
Any interference, obstruction, or unsafe behaviour places lives at risk, not only those of the firefighters, but also the community members they are trying to assist.
Safety remains the top priority for Mossel Bay Municipality. This extends not only to the public, but also to the firefighters who are municipal employees and who carry out their duties with dedication and professionalism.

Where a scene is deemed unsafe, due to crowd behaviour, obstruction, or any form of threat, emergency teams may be withdrawn until it is safe to continue operations.
This is a necessary measure to protect personnel and ensure that emergency services can continue serving the broader community.
Letโs protect those who protect us.
