Meeting on rural fire protection

A MEETING to establish a Fire Protection Association (FPA) for Drakenstein’s rural areas will be held at Gymnasium High School in Paarl on Wednesday at 19:00.
The high number of brush fires has prompted the establishment of such a volunteer association.
Farmers and landowners will be granted powers and responsibilities towards the prevention and fighting of bush, veld and forest fires within their areas.
At the inaugural meeting, at Gymnasium High’s Sport Club, an executive committee will be selected and the functions and benefits of the FPA outlined.
