FIRES

are, and always have been, a part of our landscape. They occur as a natural phenomenon in grasslands, woodlands and sometimes in indigenous forests. Living in Southern Africa means we have two fire seasons according to rainfall patterns, the dry summer and the dry winter months. The Fire Department in its observatio­n concludes that most fires in Eswatini are human caused rather than natural. Almost 99 per cent of all fires are caused by human negligence, by people being careless with open flames and indifferen­t to the consequenc­es of their carelessne­ss. Cigarettes, matches and lighters, candles, heating appliances and open braai fires can all cause fires if not carefully monitored. This week we look at the dangers of uncontroll­ed grass fires as the dry winter season is upon us. With the help from Eswatini National Fire and Emergency Services; they share procedures to follow before starting an open fire and what to do when a forest fire approaches your property.
