Having both had my own lived experience with fire and worked with firefighters on a couple of projects, I know how amazing they are.
Also, I live in a fire-prone part of South Africa...
Good on you!

I never realised how unprepared us South Africans are. We have fire "blocks" and vegetation is cleared every year before the dry season, and all the other preventions farmers have... But within our businesses and homes we have nothing 😕. What is the use of a fire extinguisher if no one around can use it properly? Most homes don't have smoke detectors, and I know I few people whom have lost everything in a home fire due to not being prepared.
We need to look at these things for our own safety.
Indeed. Especially as more of us move to gas and as the Eskom issues create problems with electrical appliances. We not only live in a fire-prone area, but a village full of thatched houses. So. Yes.
