over the past 24 hours in South Africa. This is the highest total of fires I have ever noticed in one day in South Africa. Please contact your
nearest fire fighting unit, Working on Fire
or Local Fire Fighting Service when fires are observed. The earlier a
fire is detected to better the chances of extinguishing the fire.
