The dryness of vegetation coupled with the winds that are constantly changing direction creates perfect conditions for runaway veld fires to ignite. Veld fires are a serious threat to the agricultural sector and land users are urged to adhere to risk reduction measures.
Braai fires must never be left unattended especially on or near dry vegetation. Monitor hotspots for possible veld fire outbreaks and report them immediately to local Fire Protection Association or Fire Brigade in your area.
