IMPACTS
• HIGH FIRE DANGER SEASON: Seemingly small and manageable fires can easily go out of control during this period. Dry conditions cause vegetation to be highly susceptible to forest fires.
• While land preparations are very vital at this stage, those engaged in such on-farm and other outdoor activities are reminded that it is a crime to start veldt fires.
• The air-to-dust ratio in the atmosphere, at this time of the year, is heightened; as such people with respiratory challenges/predispositions such as asthma, hay fever and other allergies may be affected.
ACTIONS TO TAKE
• All farmers including urban farmers are urged to reduce the amount of grass on their farms and residential properties through hay baling, thatch, and broom grass harvesting as a fire prevention measure.
• The public is urged to safeguard against the spreading of wildfires through constructing fire-guards that are maintained free from combustible matter and arc at least 9 (nine) meters wide.
• Antihistamines, respirators or inhalers should be on standby for those prone to respiratory illnesses. School children are urged to wear masks, always maintain social distance at school and play.
